Allotment 'Mini Plots'
Peter Hordern is well involved in allotments which are of great
benefit to members who were able to manage them. However the size of plots which
could be hired was larger than many could manage, particularly those who were new
to growing vegetables and soft fruit. Peter therefore arranged for the Society to
take several half allotments and divide them into smaller 'Mini Plots' for members
to hire from the Society. These can be permanent or temporary but are controlled
by the Society. Users have to agree to obey the Parish Council allotment rules and
also additional ones imposed by the Society. These include ensuring that the mini
plots are well maintained and giving them up if a full allotment is subsequently
rented. Help and advice are available. One or more of the plots are modified for
disabled gardeners. Peter Hordern looks after the management, keys and liaison with
the authority. The Society is paying the cost of hiring -
