Hurry, offer, end soon. Terms and conditions apply. Allotments. At first glance, they're just small plots of land, but in truth, they're powerful little

worlds.

So much more than pieces of rented earth,

their community engines, spaces of regeneration,

and places where food, friendships and futures grow.

In a busy, fractured world, they nourish our bodies,

lift our spirits, cut our food miles, welcome wildlife

and galvanise people from every walk of life.

Allotments may be small in size, but their impact is anything but.

This week is National Allotment Week, so we're celebrating these little sanctuaries.

Mike Farrell, chair of the National Allotment Society, takes us back to their origins,

showing how allotments have evolved and why the diverse communities they serve are more important than ever.

Garden Designer and National Allotment Society ambassador Zoe Claymore explores the

versatility of container gardening, perfect for an allotment or any scrap of green space you can access.

And Lenka Cook, horticultural advisor for the RHS, offers a brilliant two-in-one tip, how to tackle weeds and feed your garden at the same time.

All this coming up on gardening with the RHS with me, Nick Turrell.
