National Allotments Week, 11th-17th August

This year’s theme for National Allotment Week is “Allotments and Wellbeing” – a perfect reminder of how tending to a plot of land can do wonders for your mind, body and plate.

Physical health – Digging, planting and weeding help to keep you active
Mental health – Fresh air, peace, tranquillity and growth all help to create a sense of peace
Nutritional health – Seasonal vegetables and fruit packed with nutrients from your own plot

Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just getting started, your allotment is more than soil and seeds; it’s a sanctuary for your wellbeing!
