We need more allotments for people to grow their own food, to increase our resilience to food scarcity, poverty, and climate change. This is why our charity is funding the purchase of land for new non-profit allotments. #allotmentlife #localfoodsystems #growyourownfood #🌱🇬🇧 #communities

In a digital world, allotments provide a real place on earth to connect. To listen, to chat, to be in the same space as real people. A precious place. This is one of the reasons why our charity is funding land for new Allotments. #allotmentlife #communities #🌱🇬🇧

We love allotments SO much that we are funding the purchase of land for new allotments. Why? Allotments have so many benefits: mental health, physical health, communities, local food, space for biodiversity. An important part of our history and cultural heritage. #allotmentlife #🌱🇬🇧 #communities

Green Allotments is a charity. We provide land for new allotment sites. Everything we do is non-profit. We want more people to be able to grow their own food and gain from the health and wellbeing benefits of allotments.

Does your town or village need allotments? Did you know Green Allotments Charity funds the purchase of Land for new allotments? For you and your community and future generations. We are a friendly and inclusive bunch, please get in touch if you would like to learn more. #🌱🇬🇧

Non-profit allotment sites: Any excess money from plot rents goes back into the allotment site for the future good of the allotment community. No fat cats allowed! Community-led allotment sites for the good of communities. Green Allotments: always for charity never for profit.

Do you have a corner of land which could be suitable? Interested? Contact us for an initial discrete discussion. Our team includes experienced landowners, involved in the buying and selling of land for over 35 years. (The charity is entirely non-profit and we do not engage in land-banking)

Non-profit Allotment Sites: rent goes straight back into the good of the allotment site. For-profit Allotment Sites: rent goes straight into the pocket of the person providing the allotments. We aren't aware of anyone buying a private jet from the profits but they could if they wanted to.

🐸🌻 🍅 Thankfully, more + more allotment gardeners are choosing to garden without using pesticides or herbicides. We agree with them. Allotment sites are for the future, not just the present. Prof Goulson's evidence sums up exactly why pesticides have no place on Allotment sites (or anywhere else) 🦔🍓🐝

At Green Allotments, we don't do huge 'mega sites'. We want our allotment sites to be part of the community, to fit in, and enhance the local area. 🤲 🤲🏽 🤲🏻 🐸🌻 🍅 An allotment site should be a place everyone is proud of 🦔🍓🐝🌱

🐸🌻 🍅 This is community-led management of local green spaces. To 'give something back' we do not charge land rent to the allotment society. Plot rent paid to the society by each plotholder on the allotment site can be reinvested back into the allotment site. A sustainable future for Allotments 🦔🍓🐝🌱

We need more #Allotments right now, in place, ready for now and for our future generations. We buy land for new allotment sites, because we know that they are needed not just for the 1000s of people on allotment waiting lists, but for the people who are to come, who will also want to grow their own

Long waiting lists, no big national plan...allotment sites at risk of development...allotment rents increasing (some over £300 🤯)...Our response "Lets buy some land, set up allotment sites, do it as non-profit..." 2024 OUTCOME: Two new #allotment sites up for grabs from Green Allotments CIO.

❤️ We know from our experiences that allotments build great communities ❤️ Yet many communities struggle to create new allotment sites because of the cost of land This is where our charity comes in....you can learn more about how we work from our website www.greenallotments.org.uk

Green Allotments creates a ‘peppercorn lease’. A peppercorn lease is a special thing to be treasured ❤️ We ask our allotment society to “pay” us with a single peppercorn, as a symbolic gesture. Before you rush into the kitchen to find your pepper mill, no peppercorns actually change hands!

Our sites are overseen by the community-led management of allotments. This is about putting the gardeners in charge. This is better than the allotment site being run directly by a council or distant landowner, because it means local people manage local green spaces for the good of their community.

We want to be part of the solution not the problem. We cannot ethically justify the use of pesticides and herbicides on allotments, it’s that simple. From our experience on allotments over decades, we can see that more and more new allotment gardeners want to garden with nature, not against it.

Green Allotments sites protect land from development, ensuring communities have space to grow food in their local area 🐝🥕🥒🍅 #allotment #gyo #gardens #planning

At Green Allotments, we don't do huge 'mega sites'. We plan to have allotment sites no more than 3 acres in size, to accommodate approx. 40 – 50 plotholders. #community #allotment #gyo #localdemocracy #planning

Thriving allotment societies are at the centre of what we do; without dedicated volunteers, there are no allotments.👏👏 #allotments #allotmentlife #gyo #growyourown #allotment
