Allotments

Allotments are a great way to grow your own food - it's fun, saves you money and is a sustainable and healthy way to put fresh food on your table, especially in the light of rising food prices - because:

• Allotments cut down on food miles.
• Produce seasonal and fresh produce.
• If you are concerned about GM foods and chemicals then you can control what you eat.
• Provide an enjoyable and productive way of keeping you fit and healthy - and a good way to ensure you eat your 5 a day!
