What do the NGS expect of an alloment site before it gets a place on the scheme? That one looks unbelievably neat if the pics are anything to go by!

I am speechless and green with envy. I think we will have to have a different name for Saddads allotment as it is nothing like my overgrown wilderness, where some of mine is a nature garden (ie weeds and grass). Could his be a 'posh plot' or 'super allotment'. I will not look at the pictures anymore or will get depressed. I could happily live in that lovely shed.

I don't know what the criteria is for getting in the NGS scheme, I sure Saddad will fill us in when he is back for his Ireland jaunt! ;D

The plots are all very different, and most are far from pristine I can assure you, as the person who does the plot assessments! We have been gradually (very gradually) turning uncultivated plots over to new plot holders in the past two years, but some like my OH and son's plot they have had since November were a bramble wilderness and are still being cleared. One of the reasons I like our site so much is that there are such a variety of types of plots, styles of planting and cultivation. But it is far from perfect, honest! ;D

I'd be grateful for any info, as I'd be interested in trying to get my site on the list. Everyone would support the idea to some extent, but if we tried to give the place a makeover, we'd be very properly ignored!

Thanks folks... fancy dress is optional... the tea tent is right by the plant stall so it's just a matter of priorities... :)
