• Episode 56 - Allotment Ramble on a Natural / Wildlife Allotment and Allotment Design

  Welcome back to the Sunflower Allotment Podcast! 'People think this was a dragons nest or that I'm a witch!' - Rosemary delights us with an allotment ramble around her beautiful natural allotment. Rosemary has created a space with the aim of being at-one with nature, the oppositie to a productive vegetable rich plot; much to the annoyance of the council and some of her neighbours! With 100 year old trees, a semi-circular bank inspired by old traditions and a Finish style hut for relaxing and contemplating the world around her, it is a fasctinating plot. Peter and Tim then discuss the contemporary need for wildlife spaces on the allotments and question if the rules should change to accomodate a more envionrmentally conscious plot. We would love to know your thoughts! Please let us know if you have any questions or ideas for future episodes. Email: [email protected]: @sunflowerpod1Twitter: @sunflowerpod1
