Episode 010: Alameda Gardening Club

04/28/17 • 11 min

The lush green Alameda Botanical Gardens are the green lungs of Gibraltar. For a community where few people have gardens of their own, they are a valuable resource for all ages. The Alameda Gardening Club, which offers school aged children the chance to get their hands dirty and grow plants and vegetables, has launched a crowd funding project to build a BioDome. The group hopes to be able to expand what it does and offer Gibraltar's children an even better gardening experience. In this episode of the Postcard from Gibraltar Podcast, I met up with one of the education team's volunteers, Lucy Hart, and heard all about the exciting plans.

Episode 009: Understanding Gibraltar with Joshua Lhote

Gibraltar is a unique place in so many ways. Despite being small, the people who live here come from many different backgrounds and different religious faiths, yet there is a great degree of religious tolerance. A think tank, called Understanding Gibraltar, has been set up to look at how the diverse communities here live together in peace and tolerance, with a view to perhaps exporting the 'Gibraltar model' elsewhere. In this episode of the Postcard from Gibraltar Podcast, I spoke to Joshua Lhote from Understanding Gibraltar to find out more about it.

The third annual Med Steps 5 Challenge is due to take place later this month. The Challenge sees teams and individuals climb the Med Steps to the top of the Rock of Gibraltar five times to raise much needed funds for the Cancer Relief Centre in Gibraltar.
