| * Local residents across Manchester, Stockport and Tameside * New and prospective allotment holders * Housing or residents associations * Allotment holders - The allotment course sessions are primarily geared for new allotment holders to give them the confidence, skills and knowledge to maintain a sustainable, productive and well kept plot. However, we find that existing plot holders also like to attend this course as a refresher and that they do still learn something new. |
