A little story written by Elsie (aged 7) about our allotment. She has been an allotment kid since she was three and is now a pretty knowedgable young gardener!
Our Allotment is a nice place for people to relax. If you don’t want to waste money from buying food at the shops get an allotment to grow fruit and veggies. On my allotment we grow potatoes, carrots, apples, herbs, flowers and pumpkins! It’s a place of wonder and curiosity.
At my allotment there is a bed for different things. My favourite bed is the herb bed (it always smells really nice). My favourite thing to grow is strawberries, whenever one is ripe, I take it and nibble it.
At Teehey Allotments we hold a plant swap, and everyone brings cakes. We also have a breakfast BBQ. Sometimes there are other kids there and we play together, and I bring toys.
When mum is in the polytunnel a frog jumped at her and she screamed (she does it with spiders too). The first time she saw one, Dad came to get it and put it in the pond but when he opened his hands it was gone! We were all worried it had hopped off into the car park and got squished or stepped on. But it was still in the polytunnel, mum seen it. Again, Dad caught it, he said, “oh its going mad!” and he opened his hands and it swam.
That’s all from me, bye now!
