Kitchen Garden Forum

I am a police community support officer and also a keen gardener.
On a regular basis we walk the housing estates with the local housing officer and one of the problems is untidy overgrown gardens mainly because the tenants is incapable of looking after the garden.
I wondered if any anybody has any knowledge where a local authority has entered into a landshare agreement with the local allotment association

Dear malcs, we are not ignoring you, it just seems we are don't have the answers, sorry about that.

By the way, the car is taxed and insured.

Hi malcs
I guess you have browsed this site http://landshare.channel4.com/

They have a blog so maybe a comment on there would give an answer.

Dear Malcs,
I attended a talk last winter on 'Guerrilla Gardening' which deals with just this problem of unattended sites by people who live in the cities and really want to get gardening. It is an international movement with I believe books written as well. Just google 'Guerrlla Gardening' and you will get all the sites you need!
Good luck
Hilary
