Join us on GreenSense this week as we sit down with Ritamary from Powerstown Allotments to discuss Allotment Sustainability. We'll dig deep into the world of sustainable gardening and how allotments play a crucial role in promoting eco-friendly practices.  Allotment Demand: Allotments have seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, driven by increased interest in sustainable living, organic gardening, and food security. Waiting lists for allotments in some areas can be quite long, reflecting the high demand. Environmental Benefits: Allotments contribute to various environmental goals, including increased biodiversity, reduced carbon emissions through local food production, and improved soil health through organic cultivation methods. Health and Wellbeing: Gardening on allotments is known to have positive effects on mental and physical health. Many allotment holders cite stress reduction, increased physical activity, and a sense of purpose as benefits of allotment gardening. Education and Training: Allotments provide opportunities for education and training in gardening, horticulture, and sustainable agriculture. Many allotment associations offer workshops and resources for both beginners and experienced gardeners. Discover tips, tricks, and inspiring stories that will help you cultivate a greener, more sustainable lifestyle.
