The National Allotment Week theme for 2015 is 'Plot for all Ages'. It is designed to emphasise the benefits that allotments bring to everyone regardless of age, to celebrate the fact that they have endured through many ages and highlight that we need to value our remaining sites and preserve them for future generations to enjoy. National Allotment Wee is running from the 10th - 16th August 2015
To illustrate our theme they are looking for people and sites in the following categories:
· The oldest plot-holder
· The youngest plot-holder (16 and upwards)
· Youngest grower on parents plot
· The longest continuous family rental of a plot
· The oldest site
· The authority that has built the most new plots over the last 5 years
The week itself will start with the opening of a pop-up allotment in Plymouth, be followed by local events at sites around the country and conclude on the 16 August at the Summer Vegetable Weekend held by Barnsdale Gardens in the East Midlands. On this weekend Barnsdale Gardens open up the productive areas that are normally off-limits to visitors, and their expert growers will be available to advise you on your own veggie production and chat about their favourite subject.
