Stroud LETS Allotment
Producing fresh, organically
grown vegetables and fruit for the Stroud LETS Community

The uncultivated, overgrown allotment as it was in March 1999 when The LETS Allotment Team took on the uncultivated, overgrown site. We are very pleased with the continuing progress illustrated below, especially as we
only have one regular allotment work day per week. |
