Allotment Dreams

Someday, I would dearly love the little Community Garden here in the village to resemble one of these glorious alloments in Birmingham, UK.  A community of gardeners, each with their individual styles and cultural habits and glorious growing things...with a potluck or two tossed in for good measure.  How about an annual harvest festival?  Yes please!  Not only do I find programs such as this one inspiring in terms of how to gather a community around gardening, but I also pick up some great ideas for techniques to try out in my own garden.  I'm quite smitten by the idea of growing some dye plants...
