I went to visit the allotment over the weekend, after being away for 6 weeks, and was amazed at how well it is doing! Everyone has been busy planting, watering and digging.
Here are some pictures showing our working vegetable garden.. previously a piece of tarmac! And if you haven’t already seen it, please watch Michael Struwig’s fantastic video of our allotment party hosted in October.

This is a good time of year to start planting your herbs and veggies. Eating your own produce is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint, and can be a very rewarding experience.
The Allotment in Observatory is flourishing
