Allotments have been helping people be to self-sufficient since the Industrial Revolution and are an important part of our culture and history.
Over the years they have had mixed fortunes, swinging from vital food production in war-time to near dereliction at the end of the 20th century. These days the proven health benefits of gardening, along with greater awareness of food provenance, has brought them back into fashion.
Felpham Allotments and Garden Society supports members in pursuit of their gardening activities fostering an awareness of the benefits of growing and eating fresh vegetables.
