Apart from being an excellent form of exercise for people of all ages and a decent form of socialising to boot allotmenteers get not only the satisfaction and achievement that comes with reaping a successful crop they get to eat the freshest, tastiest organically grown (hopefully) vegetables available.
The photograph above is of the allotments on Greenmoor road and is taken from the other side of the canal.
Throughout the borough of Nuneaton and Bedworth there are allotment associations run on a volunteer basis. Some of them have spaces whilst others have a waiting list but the surest way of finding out is to go down to your local allotments (particularly on a Sunday) stick your head over the fence and ask how to contact the secretary. A conversation is bound to follow from which you are only in danger of learning something.
I include this link to the Allotmenteer blog for those amongst you who have an interest. I particularly like this bit that the author writes about himself: -
I know I have a lot to learn - and keep an open mind - hoping that one day I’ll have a plot that will turn heads. I have some very competent teachers around me - both in my job - but also on my allotment site.
I like people who are willing to learn. I hope that I always will remain so myself. To close ones mind is self denial of improvement.
