Why have an allotment?
Nothing else tastes as good as the fresh vegetables you can grow on an allotment. You can grow enough vegetables to feed your family, and the exercise will help to keep you fit. If you have a small garden planted with shrubs and flowers, with no room for vegetables, why not rent an allotment from the Council.
If you wish to apply for an allotment in one of the 40 sites in the Basingstoke area, please call the contact centre on 01256 844844.
