National Allotments Week 2022 – a recap
National Allotments Week 2022 marked the 20th year of the campaign and saw sites all around the UK opening their gates to the public. This year’s National Allotments Week theme was Bugs, bees and broccoli and acknowledges the importance of gardening with nature in mind.
National Allotments Week started in 2002 as a way of raising awareness of allotments and the role they play in helping people to live healthier lifestyles, grow their own food, develop friendships, and bolster communities. The campaign week is still thriving 20 years later and interest in growing your own fruit and vegetables has never been stronger since the WW2 Grow for Victory campaign.
