Allotments are a great way to meet new people, build your gardening skills and grow fresh produce. They also offer a strong sense of community.
Taking on an allotment is rewarding, but it does take time and effort. You will usually need to spend at least a couple of hours a week throughout the year to keep your plot well maintained.
Allotment sites are open every day between 5am and 10pm in the summer, and during daylight hours in the winter.
