Hi everyone or anyone I am not sure what an allottment is in the UK - is
it
just a name for the yard around one's house? In Canada it generally means
a
portion of a communal land area where those without yards can garden.
Thanks for your help. Jean Vancouver BC Canada
It's not around house. People with and without gardens have allotments in
the UK. Some fro growing veg and some people use it as a recreational area.
