Allotment Cosmos.jpg

Plot 163a & b is the allotment patch.

We took over this long-neglected plot in 2021, and are in the process of transforming it into a Permaculture food forest, integrating annuals, demonstrating the ethics, principles and methods of Permaculture.

The Plot 163b Story

 

This consists of 2  x 5 pole allotments adjacent to each other. The plots are based at Cromwell Road, Hertford. 

​

We are using the food forest technique on plot 163b and, at this stage of taking on the new plot, intergrating annuals to the perennials already there.

​

​

​We're designing using the Food Forest layers, scaled down to an appropriate scale and planted up with loads of tasty goodies
