Go for it! I’m a firm believer that anyone out there can grow their own and with all the help and support of social media, there’s nothing to lose, only a wonderful hobby and a great sense of community to gain.
I also think the benefits it gives to your mental and physical health makes it a no-brainer. Having an allotment can be a lot of work, but I find little and often makes it easier for me to manage, at first it can be a bit overwhelming but just set yourself one task complete it and move on to the next.
For me, my allotment has changed my life, it might not change everyone’s in the same way, but I’m sure it would definitely have a positive impact on you and your family’s life. There is nothing more rewarding than spending time in the fresh air and bringing home amazing produce you have grown from seed.
