The store room where general supplies are sold to the members.
Wow!!! I'm impressed, are all the societys geared up like this in your neck of the woods?
I'm too ashamed to show a picture of our allotment community shed.
Sufficient to say it is well ventilated, but must add it is not meant to be! :o

What a fantastic set up Ina. Everything looks so neat and orderly and pleasant. Our shed is rather old and drafty and extremely disaorganised. I am afraid Ours sounds a bit like "The Gardeners". Anyway, It is something to aspire too. :) busy_lizzie
I have never been on other allotment complexes in Holland so I wouldn't know. I have seen some, usually from the train, on the outside and yes, they all do look tidy.
At times I feel that Holland is a bit over-regulated and it can feel a little stifling at times but it also has it's pro's. I guess you can't get around rules when you have to live with so many people in such a small country. There is no waste land in Holland and every inch is either used or protected. Having visited and lived in many other countries, I can't help but notice that the Dutch are a special breed when it comes to rules and regulations.
