BTCV Bedfordshire run an a community allotment project at the Mile Road allotments. This is run once a week from 10am to 1pm every Thursday. There are communal plots (crops are shared) and individual plots (grow & harvest your own crops).
Above: Volunteers hard at work weeding, tending and sowing while others tend a bonfire. The polytunnel provides shelter in poor weather as well as acting as a greenhouse.
Above: At the front of the picture is Rob Campbell who has run the allotments project for us for a number of years. “Too many plates spinning” says Rob, who has now left BTCV. This picture was taken on his last day (look closely on the table for the card and cake!). We all wish Rob the best of luck for the future.
