Company Secretary and Assistant Trading Secretary, Viv has had her plot for eight years, joining the committee almost immediately, recognising it was a great way to get to know people. One of our beekeepers, you can buy Viv’s amazing honey in The Trading Shed, where you’ll also find her helping out most Sundays. Viv also organises our popular school visits, sharing her enthusiasm for plants and bees with groups of children and their teachers.

“I’m not hugely successful at growing things, but I love the fact that I can go up to my allotment and pick fresh vegetables, knowing exactly where they’ve come from – and probably pollinated by my own bees!”
