Allotments in Manchester

Do you have Green Tendencies? Are you ready for a challenge? Can you deal with weeds, slugs and snails, greenfly, blight, and several other nasties?

If so, then an allotment is for you. You will benefit from:

• eating fresh and organic food grown by yourself
• regular exercise, as part of a healthy lifestyle
• plots designed for disabled people (wheelchair and non-wheelchair users) are available on some sites. Contact the Allotments officer for further information
• improving mental health
• doing your bit for the environment by protecting an open green space and reducing the pollution associated with the transportation and packaging of food
• the simple pleasure of seeing your plants grow
• the opportunity to make new friends and become a seasoned allotmenteer.

You will also qualify for a concession on the annual rent, if you are aged 60+, receiving a pension, registered disabled, chronically sick or unemployed.

Why not visit your local allotment site? The best time to visit your chosen site is on a Sunday morning, as people will then be around who can help you.
