Allotments Week - 8th -14th Aug - celebrates the i Allotments Week - 8th -14th Aug - celebrates the importance of tending to allotments with nature in mind. 

The humble #allotment is a simple but effective way to combat #climatechange, support wildlife, reduce food waste, improve physical and mental wellbeing and build new social networks.

BPT is strongly in favour of allocating land for allotments as part of all-new housing developments and recognises the huge social and environmental benefits allotments can have. 

Proper garden sizes are also important, to ensure people living in new homes have access to space and the ability to grow their own fruit and veg if they want to. Around a third of British adults grow at least some of their own food and the number is rising, but 1 in 8 households still do not have access to a garden.

During allotments week we are celebrating the resurgence of interest in growing your own and the benefits of:

🥦 Hyper-local food
🥦 Knowing where it has come from – from seed to fork
🥦 Nutrition. Freshly cut or picked fruit and veg have more vitamins and minerals 
🥦 Flowering species - support insects and biodiversity 
🥦 Composting - supports countless invertebrates and improves and enriches soil
🥦 Zero waste - people who grow their own waste less and recycle more
🥦 Movement - gardening is a form of physical exercise
🥦 Immense mental well-being benefits of connecting with nature 
🥦 Community - allotments bring people together, building friendships, encouraging mutual support and help
🥦 Learning - so children know where food comes from, passing on techniques and shared knowledge
🥦 £ - brings food costs down tackling food poverty. 
 
Some tips to make your allotment as sustainable as possible:

🌍 Recycle food scraps for compost
🌍 Avoid using the car to get to your allotment
🌍 Only use peat-free soil enrichment
🌍 Allow 10% of your crop to run to seed and create a communal seed bank – it helps insects as well as each other
🌍 Harvest rainwater and only water your crops in the morning or early evening (before or after the heat of the day)
🌍 Share surpluses with neighbours or work colleagues.
