Allotments as a Community Resource
Allotment gardening is a great leveler! It can bring people together from all age groups around a common interest. It can help to foster mentoring relationships where more experienced gardeners can pass on their knowledge to younger or less experienced ones. Allotments often bring together people from a wide variety of social backgrounds, and the activity lends itself to co-operation and contact.
It is an ideal place to teach your children about nature and how we can best sustain and safeguard the environment.
With changing lifestyles there is an opportunity for quality family time and the cementing of relationships through working together.
Some sites have their own society which are members of the Wirral Federation of Allotment Societies. The Federation is affiliated to the National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners.
Wirral has won the Bledisloe Cup every year since 2002 for its allotment service from the National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners.
Why not visit a local site and talk to the folk there? Some may have vacancies.
