Dorset Road Allotments host the BBC

The weather forecast on BBC Breakfast came from Dorset Road Allotments this morning.  Carol Kirkwood and her team did a live broadcast.

 

Carol also interviewed our Chair, Linda Phillips about the increase in demand for allotments (our waiting list has doubled).  She met some of our early bird allotmenteers.

Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, aka The Black Farmer, was interviewed as part of his campaign for landowners to create allotments for people to grow their own fruit and veg.  He once worked on his father’s allotment in Birmingham.
