The community allotment has done more this year than just grow veg. People have been inspired to take part take in many other activities they normally wouldn't have done such as arts and crafts, wildlife watching, foraging, bundles of cooking and now poetry!
As it's National Poetry day we thought we would have a go at doing our own so our allotment volunteers got together and this is what they came up with.
A place of fun!
The allotment is a place of fun
People Laughing in the sun
Come and grow before the snow
Don’t be scared of the unknown
There is always a friendly face to hand
So you'll never feel alone
We grow for health, we grow for wealth
Have a go at growing your own
We eat as often as we can
We are a team that stand proud
They say that team work makes the dream work
Each year we live and dream for bigger and better
Oh how we love to see things bloom
Come and grow before the snow
Time flies by, we say our goodbyes until we meet again
