Appleby Edibles have been working on this site since 2013. A community growing space with 20 allotment holders/ members (2021) from a range of backgrounds, ages, and mental and physical health challenges. The site at AHC gives people an opportunity to develop skills and share expertise, in a publicly accessible, informal space.
