Meet the Team

How it started...

In the early days of their personal allotment journey, Buffy discovered Roots Allotments, a new concept in allotment holding. Rather than strict rules and closed off spaces, Roots was open plan, with ready to go plots, all the tools onsite, and seeds provided. With enthusiasm and a vision Buffy secured a double plot, and with Khonen set to work and planted their first seeds! As they nurtured their plot, the excitement of watching their first plantings flourish filled their hearts with joy. The allotment became not just a space for growing vegetables but a sanctuary for friendship, laughter, and the simple pleasure of connecting with nature.
