National Allotments Week started in 2002 as a way of raising awareness of allotments and the role they play in helping people to live healthier lifestyles, grow their own food, develop friendships and bolster communities. The campaign week is still thriving 18 years later and interest in growing your own fruit and vegetables has never been stronger since the WW2 Grow for Victory campaign.
So lets all celebrate tomorrow and have FUN

Many thanks to all those who came along this afternoon, ignoring the dodgy little shower at noon and subsequently enjoying a sunny few hours in great company. Our raffle raised a record sum - £75.00 - for St Catherine's Hospice and I thank not only those who bought tickets but also those who very kindly donated prizes. You are both very generous and community minded and it was a real pleasure to see so many enjoying the Garden today.
Looking forward to our Halloween/Harvest Home gathering in October - date to be announced.

Yes weren’t we lucky with the weather. Lovely to see so many people there relaxing rather than digging!
