I'm not sure if allotments are just a British thing or maybe they have them all round the world? An allotment is a small piece of land, often owned by the local council or another community group that people can lease for gardening, usually for growing food or flowers. These allotments are in the St Cross area of Winchester. They appear to be very popular and there are usually waiting lists to get one.
Oh nice!
ReplyDeleteAllotments, thanks for the term. I needed it.
Yes, we have such an arrangement here in the Jerusalem Hills. The plots are right across the valley from my village on the hill.
Do English children like to help with this gardening?
Looks so green and lush- lovely!

I think they call them garden plots in most large cities in US.

I've only ever seen them in the UK but who knows maybe a European thing.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see any children there that day, but we have lots of seeds & gardening things particularly geared towards children, so I'm sure some do
ReplyDeleteGreat photos on all your posts. We do not have allotments in South Africa. We have big gardens with large lawns which need constant mowing :(
ReplyDeleteWe have them here in Leeds and also there are some around 7 minutes walk from my place, one of my friends has one of these and I was down there a couple of days back.
