Getting inspired by a visit to the Carpenter and Family.
I wish we had village allotment gardens like these. A community working together.
some have chooks...each gardener has their own plot,of varying sizes
deep beds for disabled gardeners
Many sheds of varying construction!
The Carpenter and family have graduated to having a full plot
beds prepared ready for planting..as little bare soil as possible..and the groundcover helps warm the soil too
they grow a lot in containers as well,mainly because of the prevalence of Mare's Tail (Equisetum)
The polytunnel has been built from old garden trampoline frames, and the greenhouses and shed were free as were the very useful yellow shelves, used in hardening off young plants.
What is the point in things going to landfill when they can be used?!
The corner where the water butts and compost bins are standing will be the site of the next greenhouse.
and a small orchard too!
Its marvellous to see the love of gardening that I inherited from my father, being passed on to my grandchildren.

Wonderful - I think allotments are a great idea.
I've never seen chickens in an allotment! So glad to see all those useful materials being re-used. I wish many, many more people thought that way.
Walking through gardens (other's for me these days) does connect the generations...discovering familiar plants, and discussing the latest care being given to deal with issues that come up. Lovely.
Thanks for sharing....it's a great way for a community to stay connected.
What a wonderful idea
I am so impressed by the tall beds!
Some people just don't seem to have the imagination to find new uses for old things. Those who do, though... wow.
