Meet The Team
Hi I'm Kevin, when not working as Treasurer
and overseeing the building work on this project, I manage my
own archaeological consultancy - specialising in Cathedrals, work on
the farm and carve
stone. (I am a Member
of the Royal Society of Sculptors).
Hi. I'm Fran. I'm passionate about nature, gardening, art and cosmology. When not working on this project you'll find me farming (agroecology) just above Llanidloes. I'm fascinated by the origins of farming and am helping to reconstruct a Neolithic settlement - to explore the lives and minds of our ancestors.

Hi, I'm Kate. I took over Management of the Cafe in May. I have a wonderful team working alongside me in our beautiful and unique space. I have really enjoyed creating a new menu , as well as baking delicious cakes for our customers to enjoy.
When I'm not at work, I love singing, gardening, making macrame and spending time with my family.
Hi, I am Jo and started as Volunteer Co-ordinator in April 2024. I am very happy to be part of The Hanging Gardens team and have admired their successes over the years. I love working with people and enjoy the conversations that arise with volunteers – and my aim is to make the team know that they are very much appreciated and valued. In my spare time I play in Samba Dyfi samba band and enjoy supporting events in Llanidloes. I enjoy the outdoors, camping and swimming.
Hi I’m Jo, I recently started volunteering in the Hanging Gardens Cafe and have now taken on the role of Llani Community Fridge Coordinator. I’m passionate about communities, social inclusion and waste reduction, I don’t hoard but can usually get my hands on something someone wants. My spare time is spent with my partner and our 3 Pugs!!
Hi I’m Bumble, when I'm not down The Hanging Gardens managing my team of humans, I love nothing more than long walks or sleeping just about anywhere whilst dreaming of chasing Rabbits
I am Michael. I provide tech support and IT support at The Hanging Gardens. This includes looking after the sound and lighting in the hall and giving training in these things to staff and volunteers, if needed.
Before I moved here some of what I did included DJ'ing and work as a lighting engineer in the Rave scene, as well as a day job in the drug and alcohol sector
