Allotments are not only for growing fruit and vegetables. Local artist Teresinha Roberts grows plants on her plot which she uses to dye materials for her hand-made cards. She has also appeared on Gardeners' World with Monty Don. Teresinha gives a talk called 'An Allotment to Dye for'. You can contact her on info@wildcolours.co.uk
Visit her website and learn more about this fascinating hobby.
