Although allotments will always be mainly used for growing food, they have other values that are now gaining greater recognition. They are great places for healthy exercise, provide good opportunities for socialising, and put us back in touch with the earth. We all, ultimately, depend on the soil for our foods but in this highly processed, pre-packaged age the connection is often forgotten. Allotments are also an increasingly important resource for wildlife. Many of the plants and animals that struggle to survive on intensively managed farmland find a refuge on allotment sites. This leaflet will help you enhance the conservation value of your allotment, while continuing to cultivate it for fruit and vegetables.
