National Allotments Week - Start
Mon, 12 Aug 2019
National Allotments Week 12th - 18th August 2019
2018 Theme: A Shared Harvest
'This year we are celebrating the Shared Harvest from our precious plots. There comes a time in every growing season when plants produce more crops than any plot-holder can freeze, pickle or jam and generous allotment holders begin to arrive at work with baskets of plums, armfuls of rhubarb and Tupperware full of green beans. Many plot-holders also share their produce with worthy causes and this year we have also taken a look at the practice of donating crops to food banks.'
'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 13 years later and interest in growing your own fruit and vegetables has never been stronger since the WW2 Grow for Victory campaign.'
During National Allotments Week allotment sites across the UK are opening their gates, showing off their skills, sharing their joy in gardening and communal endeavour to encourage everyone to grow food in their own in gardens, balconies and backyards
Have you considered taking on an allotment? "Renting an allotment gives you access to the space necessary for growing crops like potatoes, onions, sweetcorn etc but it is also possible to grow food in small spaces. Many vegetables have attractive leaves and flowers and look great in a cottage garden or backyard. Runner and French bean flowers come in white, red, purple and yellow and will clamber up a support in a sunny spot. Most salad ingredients are quick and easy to grow in pots of good compost, cut and come gain lettuce will even thrive in a semi-shady spot. Herbs are a vital ingredient for most cooks and can be grown in pots by the kitchen door and rosemary or lavender can make a low hedge. Strawberries will look attractive and produce fruit in a hanging basket if kept well-watered"
