Project Allotment

Sandra takes a philosophical approach to her allotment, she feels it is a part of her and she is a part of it.  As well as manual work of the plot, Sandra takes time out to focus on her artistic side too.

Aged 84, Tony’s one of the oldest member on the allotment. He talks about memories of his father, joining the Navy and tells tales of 'mending and make do' during his time in the home guard.

Tending to a plot can often be teamwork. Gianni and Pauline have been a team for nearly 40 years and here they discuss their past and their now award winning plot.

Brian's one of the dedicated growers on the allotment, who loves a challenge. Brian consults his knowledge of chinese proverbs, remembers his time in germany and discusses what brings him to the allotment.

Meet Bert, he's 78 and is the longest standing member on the allotment. Here he reminisces about his time at school, the smell of Sage and what the allotment means to him.
