ALLOTMENT PLOT BELONGING TO HENRICK, ITS A PRIZE WINNER

HENRICK HAS A WONDERFUL ALLOTMENT AT MERTON 

The blue squares on my friend's allotment


The plot which Henrick has created is full of delightful surprises. At one end he has a large pond with various kinds of carp, and a chalet where he entertains friends on Boxing Day!
The various buildings he has made are changing over time and on each visit I marvel at something new!
This sketch is of a blue and red square on the trellis near his greenhouse.
Through this square, you can see other squares that are cleverly built to show an impression of recession to a far distance.
Colour is also important on this allotment, everything is painted, usually blue, green and red, and everywhere are great swathes of flowers, climbing up, cascading  down.  A feast for the eye.

ALLOTMENT SOCIETY PLANT SALE - CAKE SALE TOO!

MY ALLOTMENT SOCIETY IN LONDON IS CALLED 'MAGA' - WE HAVE AN ANNUAL PLANT SALE TO RAISE FUNDS, IN MAY EACH YEAR

THE HUT, WITH HOME MADE CAKES, ENJOYABLE!


Lovely weather on May 17, and lots of plants to buy, as well as delicious cakes;  here is my sketch of the cake sale inside the Allotment Society hut, with helpers and visitors enjoying the home made cakes.
Unfortunately, (or fortunately) I left my money behind, so did not eat anything. Had to borrow some cash to buy a tray of leek seedlings, though. Thanks, Philippa!
