A celebration of all that’s great about the British kitchen garden – and everything that’s home-grown and local – this allotment shows how simple, rewarding and beautiful it is to grow your own food.

This space celebrates the past 100 years of the Society’s allotment site, starting with traditional-style beds separated by a turfed path. Towards the middle is an open shed structure offering a view to the back of the plot.

Anyone can grow edible plants and there’s no fixed destination on a gardening journey. This is the idea behind this RHS Allotment, where a curved path illustrates this meandering experience. Alongside are containers, as well as vegetables growing in the ground.
