2020 Covid-19 Memories
What Your Allotment Means To You
Here are the submissions so far of our "pandemic project" to gather impressions from plotholders on what their allotment has meant during the pandemic. It is intended as a vehicle to provide reflective celebration.
For the majority of us, our allotment has been a safe haven and vital resource - as well as a means to feed ourselves. Our allotment provided us with an opportunity for meaningful physical exercise in the early weeks of the lockdown. The gardening process is usually therapeutic and many of us have been reminded how tending the land is good for general well-being. This has been noted by many of our fellow citizens: in Edinburgh the waiting list for an allotment has shot up by 800.
This section will grow as submissions are received up to the end of August. There is a possibility of creating a book(let) as a permanent record, but please keep your recollections coming in to yearbook@fedaga.org.uk. Make sure you include your name(s) and your allotment site so your submission can be attributed to you.
