An allotment is an area of land that can be used to grow fruit, vegetables and other plants. People typically rent allotments from a private landlord or local authority.
A plot needs a commitment of about five or six hours a week to maintain, and there will be rental costs involved that vary depending on the location and size of your allotment.
Applying for an allotment
Allotment space is popular and there can be waiting lists in many areas.
