The idea relates to the provision and improved utilisation of garden allotments. There are more people applying for allotments than local councils can provide. Very often people applying for an allotment do not realise the commitment that will be needed to maintain their plot of land; how much work is required and what skill and knowledge will be needed. This idea is about matching people from a waiting list with existing allotment holders, exploiting opportunities for experienced but perhaps elderly gardeners to share their knowledge and skill in return for assistance from new would-be allotment holders.
