In May 2003 Reg and I took on two plots of land with the Kent House Leisure Gardens Association, certain that this wonderful site (with its beehives, vineyards and hens and where most gardeners avoid the use of chemicals) would be the ideal place for us to start growing organic vegetables, fruit, herbs and cut flowers.

The links to the right are for the casual visitor who may or may not be considering growing their own produce. You can read why we are organic and see our plans and photos view other linked sites on the subject and the recipes can of course be used by anyone whether they grow their own or not.

If you're keen on owning your own allotment or already manage one, check out the "digging deeper!" section for more in depth information on the organic movement and organic practices and techniques. If you have anything to add, any comments or need more information please do email us.
