Uses for your allotment
On an allotment you can:
- Grow fruit and vegetables
- Ask for permission to keep chickens, ducks and pigeons
- Ask for permission to keep bees
- Grow a limited amount of cut flowers
Donate food from your allotment
Donating food isn't just a great way to help those in need, but it helps the planet too. The UK throws away over 9 tonnes of food a year which emits around 25 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
By feeding people and not landfills, you can do your part to reduce emissions and give help to someone who needs it.
If you find you have more food from your allotment than you'll use, check if you can donate it to your local food bank.
