Allotments: Spaces that Grow Us

Allotments: Spaces that Grow Us

Allotments are powerful spaces of regeneration, nourishment, and community, and this National Allotment Week we’re celebrating these impactful sanctuaries. Mike Farrell, Chair of the National Allotment Society talks us through how they have evolved and why in a fractured world, the diverse communities they serve are more vital than ever. Garden designer and allotmenteer Zoe Claymore explores the versatility of container gardening, and RHS Horticultural Advisor Lenka Cooke shares her hacks for dealing with any invading weeds AND how to feed your allotment at the same time. Host: Nick Turrell Contributors: Mike Farrell, Zoe Claymore, Lenka Cooke Links: National Allotment Society Zoe Claymore website More on homemade fertilisers
