National Allotment Week

This year, National Allotment Week will run from 11-17th August with the theme of Allotments and Wellbeing.

It’s a great chance to explore how allotments support healthier lifestyles and stronger communities. Whether you’re an experienced grower or just getting started, events are taking place across the UK.

Gardening can help people cope with stress and mental health issues. One of the best ways to have a calmer, more optimistic mindset is to immerse yourself in nature and nurture plants.

Join in the week-long celebration by signing up for a local gardening class. Invite your neighbours and friends to a seed and plant swap. It’s also a great way for you to get some exercise and connect with your friends and neighbours.
