As part of AgGrow food territories, a food belt system running alongside the contour of Treherbert (created by the growing group) is a cosmetics research facility of Herb and Mushroom production named Herbtopia, designed to give a new identity to Treherbert. Herbtopia is the production side of AgGrow food territories that aims to “reminisce redolence.” The main concept of this project is to frame the most important views of Treherbert as its beautiful scenery had been neglected because of the “isolation” in the Rhondda Cynon Taff.
Located near the Welcome to Our woods proposed agroforestry, the project is accessed through the abandoned wildlife corridor, producing flora along the steep contour not only creating aroma around its territory, but also prevents the ongoing flooding, bringing the community back together and flourishes the economic activity of Treherbert again.
