Crowdfunding gives a second life to the site of a popular coffee shop and bar in Cardiff. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Blue Honey Local is a popular coffee shop and bar on City Road but it will be closing next month, after its current rent agreement ends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephen Peckham has run a pop-up plant stall at the front of the cafe for the past year. Now he has started Eartha <\/a>Community Interest Company and launched a crowdfunding campaign to make the premises an independent plant shop, cafe and restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place will sell plants and local products to encourage a connection to the earth and support small businesses. Mr Peckham says the focus is on \u201clocal plants and products of the people.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
