I'm impressed with a window walk allotment space along London's southbank currently. There is a strong demand to grow food but finding spaces to grow has been a challenge. While there are 737 allotments with a staggering 20 000 plots across London, the waiting list to get in is huge. So as part of the festival of neighbourhoods many window boxes and glass panes have been designed to form very cool sheds.

These plants will all be sent into the community once the festival is over and they have pledged to use the produce to make 500 meals see
capital growth. I love this idea! Even if people only grow herbs is encouraging.

Wow, love the fabulous box and window construction and the plants look so happy and healthy. Are you having fun?
ReplyDeleteThey have a team of locals looking after the gardens, I think they are doing a great job. At least they will all be re-used locally after the display is taken down. Having a brilliant time thanks, great to catch up with all the friends and family and surprisingly fantastic weather!
