What happens

  1. Meet at the glasshouse at 9:30. Gareth hands out the jobs.
  2. Work at your own pace: weeding, sowing, mending, making tea.
  3. At 12:30 everyone eats together; the harvest goes to the soup lunch.

People ask

How do I get an allotment?

Ask Gareth to put you on the list. It is about a year at the moment; a half plot comes up faster.
