Why have an allotment?
As well as being a fantastic place for growing fruit, veg and flowers and allotment can also be a space which supports your physical and mental health, provides a place for connection and promotes greater sustainability.
Grow Your Own
Starting an allotment typically means you want to grow your own seasonal produce. Fruits, veg and herbs can be tastier and more nutritious than shop-bought options. And you can be totally organic, controlling how your food is grown. It can be cheaper too especially for high-yield crops like potatoes, courgettes or beans.
Health & Wellbeing
Any form of gardening is good physical exercise, therapeutic and encourages mindfulness. Time outdoors gives access to natural light and fresh air boosting mood and energy levels. And it can be lovely to have a sense of purpose, watching plants grow and harvesting your crops can fill you with joy!
Sustainability
Allotments reduce food miles, and there's less packaging waste too. They are also great habitats for bees, butterflies and birds.
Community & Connection
Having your own allotment means you'll meet others who share similar interests. You can swap tips, seeds, tools and even harvests! Many allotments also host events, workshops or communal growing projects. If you have small people it's also great for them to learn about food, nature and responsibility.
