National Allotments Week 2021
The campaign week went well this year, with sites feeling more confident about holding Open Days and our volunteers talking on tv and radio slots that featured allotment life. We ran a series of popular online talks that covered
a range of issues. There are pdfs of
the presentations on the website, and hopefully we will have mastered the technology and uploaded the recordings by the time you are reading this!
