Allotment Garden

Allotment gardens are small plots of land allotted on rent to grow fruits and vegetables for personal consumption in rural and urban areas. The rent of allotment gardens is nominal and are subject to local laws and regulations. In the US, these gardens are used for different purposes; some are used for recreation purposes while others are used for growing food and fruit.

Allotments have both tangible and intangible benefits. Not only do they provide healthy food, but they also provide space for rest and companionship. Allotment gardens contribute to shaping life and in social integration.
