Posted in Jan 2023 its well worth a look.

The following are very usefull web sites:-

Wild Spaces has some specific advice for allotments and features Folly Lane as a case study Let's Create Wild Spaces - Wild Spaces (wild-spaces.co.uk)

The Wildlife Trusts have a good range of advice including ponds Wildlife gardening

RSPB have some good planting advice Planning a wildlife garden design (rspb.org.uk)

NSALG have a wildlife section Wildlife and allotments – National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners Ltd (nsalg.org.uk)
