GrowYourOwn

  Real food without food miles

Grow your own in a window box, garden or allotment.

Allotment gardening with the opportunity to grow fresh, healthy food in abundance, knowing exactly how it has been grown and where it has come from, is an increasingly popular modern recreation. And quite rightly so!

It offers health benefits, social benefits and environmental benefits - and more importantly it helps to retain 'a little bit of green' for future generations to enjoy. Go on - you'll love it 

Many allotments have formed active associations which offer member trading huts, hold regular meetings, social events and training days so is an excellent way to meet new people and be part of your community.

To find out where you can obtain a plot and how much it costs see local Hammersmith and Fulham contacts

For Chiswick see the Chiswick Horticultural Society Allotments and Gardeners Club  

Contact The National Society of Allotments and Leisure Gardeners  for a free fact sheet on first steps to allotment gardening.
