3 Growing Your Own Food What is a food growing activity? Growing your own food can be as small as growing herbs on your windowsill or as large as a community farm, allotment or smallholding. What are the benefits? can offer the chance to grow and eat organic fruit and vegetables; can help to bring together people of different abilities, ages and cultures; can create a sense of achievement; can increase confidence and skills within the community, as well as in individuals; can help to improve people s mental and physical health and well being; can give access to green spaces and exercise; develops awareness of gardening and farming. What are city farms and community gardens? City farms and community gardens are community-managed projects working with people, animals and plants. They range from tiny wildlife gardens to fruit and vegetable plots on housing estates, to community poly-tunnels and large city farms. They help people have access to green space. City farms and community gardens are often developed by local volunteers, and aim to involve the local community. Some larger community farms and gardens employ many workers whilst others are run solely by small groups of dedicated volunteers. Most projects provide food-growing activities, training courses, school visits, community allotments and sometimes community businesses. There is no typical city farm or community garden as each develops according to the local area and in response to the needs of the local community. They are places where people of all ages and from all sections of the community are welcome. 3

12 Allotments What is an allotment? An allotment is a plot of land, usually about 28 yards x 15 yards or approximately 250 square metres in size (half plots are also available), which can be rented for growing fruit and vegetables for you and your family. The land is generally owned by the local council. What are the benefits? Cultivating an allotment provides an affordable way of getting fruit and vegetables; Fresh fruit and vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet; It s a very rewarding pastime/hobby; Enjoying an open space within your community; Allotments are important recreational assets for people without gardens; Able to grow organically without the use of herbicides and fungicides; Working an allotment gives you plenty of fresh air and healthy exercise, and it can be suitable for the elderly and disabled people; Gardening has been shown to benefit mental and physical health and well being; Having an allotment can be a social activity and brings people together from all age groups and backgrounds; Environmental benefits - less food miles, composting, attracting wildlife, bird/bat boxes; Garden design develop your own ideas e.g. willow sculptures, scarecrows, topiary, relaxation areas; You know where your food comes from; you control what you put into it. 12
13 How do I get an allotment? 1. Contact the Local Authority - Parks Department, They will give you good advice.

Contact the Allotments Regeneration Initiative at and the National Association of Allotment & Leisure Gardeners Ltd. (NSALG) at: Check on any sites that are privately run. 5. Ask a friend who has an allotment if you can help or share. How much will an allotment cost per year? All sites within the City & County of Swansea cost per full plot (2006).
