🐸🌻 🍅 Thankfully, more + more allotment gardeners are choosing to garden without using pesticides or herbicides. We agree with them. Allotment sites are for the future, not just the present. Prof Goulson's evidence sums up exactly why pesticides have no place on Allotment sites (or anywhere else) 🦔🍓🐝

🦔🍓🐝 We really do put the "green" into Green Allotments! 🐸🌻 🍅
More and more allotment gardeners are chosing to garden without using pesticides or herbicides. We agree with them.

At Green Allotments, we don't do huge 'mega sites'.
We want our allotment sites to be part of the community, to fit in, and enhance the local area. 🤲 🤲🏽 🤲🏻

A colour photograph of eight gardeners standing in a row facing the camera on an allotment site, some are holding gardening tools and smiling. The Green Allotments watering can logo. Text reads Thriving allotment societies are at the centre of what we do.

🐸🌻 🍅 This is community-led management of local green spaces.
To 'give something back' we do not charge land rent to the allotment society.
Plot rent paid to the society by each plotholder on the allotment site can be reinvested back into the allotment site.
A sustainable future for Allotments 🦔🍓🐝🌱

We need more #Allotments right now, in place, ready for now and for our future generations. We buy land for new allotment sites, because we know that they are needed not just for the 1000s of people on allotment waiting lists, but for the people who are to come, who will also want to grow their own

Long waiting lists, no big national plan...allotment sites at risk of development...allotment rents increasing (some over £300 🤯)...Our response "Lets buy some land, set up allotment sites, do it as non-profit..." 2024 OUTCOME: Two new #allotment sites up for grabs from Green Allotments CIO.

🌱🌻 🍅 Plotholders pottering about and beavering away, sowing seeds, nurturing plants, and harvesting crops to eat and share, allotments produce local food 🍓🐝

🌱🌻 🍅 Learning about where food comes from, getting muddy, interacting with nature and having fun, allotments teach and enskill🍓🐝

🌱🌻 🍅 With compost bins quietly biodegrading those veg peelings, tea bags and coffee grounds, along with plotholders reusing, recyling, swapping and sharing, allotments prevent waste 🍓🐝
That’s why we are offering two new allotment sites to non-profit groups. Read more at www.greenallotments.org.uk
