St John’s Allotment Gardens is a local community site off Lea Road, Gainsborough. Readers may have seen the National Allotments Week photo exhibition at Gainsborough Library in August.
After a successful year growing fresh fruit, flowers and vegetables, plot-holders are planting overwintering crops and preparing their land for the new year of sowings. Full-size plots are available for £15.00 a year; call a committee member on 07579 763946 to arrange a visit.
