The Perfect Plot: Starting an Allotment from Scratch

On Easter Saturday, 7th of April, we hosted a very successful launch of The Perfect Plot, the story of the Cornworthy Allotments.
It’s not just a book about allotments it’s about the local community united by a shared passion for growing produce.
