🐸🌻 🍅 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) 🦔🍓🐝

Our model of allotment provision protects Allotment Site Land from development.
This means communities have space to grow food 🐝🥕🥒🍅

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. 🤲 🤲🏽 🤲🏻
🐸🌻 🍅 An allotment site should be a place everyone is proud of 🦔🍓🐝🌱

🐸🌻 🍅 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

Granted, not something *everyone* dreams about…but some of us are daydreamers who turn their dreams into reality for the benefit of their community.
This is where our charity comes in: we buy the land so that your community gets a new allotment site.
