An allotment
plot is a piece of land, usually about 250 square metres
in size, which can be rented for growing fruit and
vegetables. The land is generally owned by the local
council. |
|
Allotments and
community gardens are valuable green spaces that can help
improve people's quality of life by promoting healthy
food, exercise and community interaction. |
