• Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar is organising a musical summer party on August 21 at 7.30pm at Villa Mekrech in Għaxaq.

Organised in collaboration with F Sharp Events, the evening will include classical and popular songs as well as finger food and wine.

Visitors are being allowed to see the garden for the first time in recognition of FAA’s ongoing campaign to save it from development.

FAA has been campaigning against the development of this garden since 2008 when Mepa granted a permit to build blocks of apartments in the villa’s outer garden. In 2010 FAA succeeded in securing scheduling of the villa and its gardens, but this is still being challenged at the Mepa appeals tribunal.

Proceeds of this event will go towards the costs of FAA’s campaign to save the gardens. Admission fee for FAA members is €38. Non-members pay €40.
