Benefits of having an allotment
More and more people are turning to allotments to grow their own fruit and vegetables as it offers many benefits. Besides giving an ongoing supply of seasonal produce, it also offers a way of getting fit, meeting people, saving money and helping the environment.
You can grow fresh, healthy food without using chemicals and enjoy less common varieties of crops that you can't get in your local supermarket.
Many allotments also provide a great habitat for wildlife. To find out where your nearest allotments are either visit the allotment sites page or contact us.
