Community allotment
Great for the allotment. A tiny pond means home for hundreds of frogs. They eat insects and are very beneficial We work with Plot to Pot in Leicester at their community allotment, and hope to bring the ideas we’ve learned to Norfolk and start our own community allotment here soon.
