Amy

Secretary - Amy Overy (plot 35)
I've wanted an allotment for as long as I can remember. My parents had one when we lived in Coventry, and my Grandad always grew vegetables and flowers in his garden.
Living in London for five

 

years intensified my desire for a plot, as I only had a tiny concrete garden - so when my husband and I moved to Tring five years ago, I marched straight into the council offices and asked for an allotment! I love eating the food I've grown, especially spuds, salads and courgettesĀ in the summer. It's great exercise and incredibly sociable, and you can't beat that feeling of smugness when you walk pastĀ the overpriced bags of salad in the supermarket! I still struggle to grow parsnips though

Committee and Cooptee: Karen Fotheringham (Plot 93b)
I've always been interested in gardening, but alas never had a very big garden. We took over our plot in May 2006 as a result of my son's interest in growing seeds and not having enough space in the garden
at home to plant out the extra seeds we had grown. We thought it would be great fun to grow our own fruit and vegetables and it has proved to be just that. There really is nothing like seeing something you've grown and nurtured from seed flourish on the plot! It's a sociable place - and we're out to see if we can challenge Amy to grow reasonable parsnips
