Allotment gardens

Allotment gardens are designated plots of land, typically provided by local authorities or organizations, where individuals can cultivate plants, flowers, fruits, and vegetables for personal use. They offer a shared, accessible space for gardening outside of private property, often fostering community interaction. These gardens are usually rented on a seasonal basis and are maintained by both the landowner and the gardeners. Allotments promote sustainable practices, outdoor activity, and food growing, making them a popular option for those seeking to connect with nature or enjoy hobby gardening within an organized framework.
