"I really enjoy getting outside in all weather’s, getting the family involved with the plot, the satisfaction when you eventually grow enough to make up a plate of food, homegrown stuff just tastes so much better!"
Chris
"The case for good mental health can’t be overstated in these hectic times, couple that with a form of exercise in working one and having a place to disappear to for a few hours , that pretty much ticks all my and my dads boxes."
Rob & John
"This is my meditation, I can take a break from household chores for a few hours and be with myself. A wonderful community, always helping each other and sharing knowledge."
Inga
"We've had our allotment for 10 months and it has been a lot of work so far. There's still a long way to go until it is where we want it but we love having our plot. We're starting to grow food and flowers and introduce our daughter to where her food comes from. It's been so beneficial for us as a family and we cannot wait to see how our plot develops over the years to come.
Stephen & Nicola

A place to relax in.
Doing my bit for the natural environment.
Getting some exercise and a sense of community
To me, it’s a fantastic hobby that is hard to beat"

The plot has given me the chance to reconnect myself with nature. The feel of soil and the sound of bird song gives my soul and mind peace in a very busy schedule.
