Lives in a Landscape: The Allotment
Lives in a Landscape is a Radio 4 Documentary Series telling original stories about real lives in Britain today. Here, Alan Dein visits a Hastings allotment and finds that a plot of land means a lot more to people than a place to grow vegetables. He joins various allotmenteers as they tend their plot and hears how differently they use it. A young family have created a haven where the children learn about nature; a teacher who tended the land as a means of combatting depression and two friends meet under a full moon to await the wild original inhabitants of the allotment.
