Portsmouth Community Allotment

The community allotment is a council project that has been running since 2002 and has made an important contribution to improving the health and wellbeing of many Portsmouth residents.

The community allotment has four plots (with disabled access), two poly tunnels and a training pod. For over ten years this community project has offered training, confidence building, volunteering opportunities, a therapeutic environment and a shared appreciation of growing things.     

Portsmouth residents can get involved in the community allotment themselves - health and social care departments can also make referrals.     

Community or school groups can access the allotment for visits and learning workshops too.     

Further information about the history of the community allotment can be found in the following document on the Portsmouth City Council website - 10 Years of the community allotment at Milton Piece.
