About a month ago I published an article offering advice on how to get an allotment and how to deal with high waiting lists, since then I’ve come across other schemes and alternatives to an allotment, which are helping people get access to green space where they can start growing their own fruit and vegetables.
I’d thought I’d share information on these schemes to see if they would be any use to you.
