Ashfield and Briary Allotments Association
The members of the Ashfield and Briary Allotments Association are busy preparing the ground for a new season. There are over 30 allotments on the site and the gardeners are a very varied group of people, ranging from those who grow flowers and vegetables for show to families encouraging their children to become involved in growing their own. Growing your own fruit and vegetables has always been very popular but has become even more important in these days of rising food prices. The allotments tend to be so productive that the families and neighbours of the gardeners also benefit. Looking after an allotment gets rid of many of your everyday worries, replacing them with concerns about carrot root flies and cabbage white butterflies!
