Benefits of Having an Allotment....

• Taste and freshness of your food – nothing tastes better than freshly picked fruit and veg

• Knowing where your food comes from and what you are eating – you know what pesticides have been used on your food

• Exercise and stress relief – ditch the gym membership for fresh air exercise at your own “green gym”

• A sense of community – socialise with a diversity of people from all ages and backgrounds

• Eating by the seasons – or storing surpluses for out of season

• Growing what you like – you can grow foods and varieties not available in supermarkets

• Grown and eaten locally – reduce the distance you food travels round the planet

• Educating future generations where their food comes from – potatoes come out of the ground not in a bag from the Supermarket

• Rewarding – pride from growing the food you eat
