There is also an area set aside for school children with learning difficulties to grow vegetables etc. The building of the plot was undertaken by allotment members and funded by a charitable donation.
It has been a great success with all available space quickly taken.
Owing to the obvious need further accessible plots are planned, offering inclusivity to anyone who wants to garden. This is obviously good for people's physical and mental wellbeing.
We welcome enquiries to the availability of future accessible plots. Information can be found how to apply on www.humberavenueallotments.co.uk
