GET GROWING MEET THE BLOGGER
How long have you been growing your own and how long have you had your allotment?
I've been an avid gardener now for well over 10 years, learning as I go while also trying to teach my two children, Imogen (10) and Oscar (5). Before we got the keys to our allotment a little over three years ago now, we used to grow some fruit and vegetables in our garden, but since then we have stopped that, slowly turning it into a tropical themed garden. Once we gained our plot, it gave us the space to ramp it up a few notches, to grow new things and also a space where we could escape the real world and gather some head space, which we have benefited from immensely.
