Our Priorities 

Climate projections for the UK indicate that over the next 20 years winters will become warmer and wetter and the summers hotter and drier. Most allotment holders and gardeners are already experiencing the challenge of coping with dry Spring weather. For this reason the Association has decided to make water conservation and capture a key theme for 2023. We will be working with our members and partner organisations to come up with some innovative ways to improve water efficiency and reduce reliance on mains water for growing as a priority for this year.

Biodiversity

The Association is encouraging a greater recognition of the rich biodiversity to be found on our allotment sites, which often exceeds areas such as parks, countryside or farmland.
