Yesterday saw the start of National Allotments Week – an annual campaign that began as a way to raise awareness of allotments and the role they play in helping people to live healthier lifestyles and grow their own food. With the interest in growing your own fruit and vegetables at an all time high, the campaign has in addition highlighted how allotments can not only develop friendships but also bolster communities as growers support each other and share their produce.
