Welcome back to the Sunflower Allotment Podcast!
We are delighted to welcome author, allotment activist and illustrator David Crouch onto the podcast this week. Daivd co-wrote with Colin Ward the acclaimed allotment book 'The Allotment' which is out this year in a third edition, having first been published in 1988.
The book will captivate any allotment and gardening enthusiast with the way it plots the social history of allotments and illustrates the importance of allotments to our lives way beyond gardening, from the small aspects of digging to larger ideas of conservation and community. With themes of politics, identity, class history, agricultural social movements and conservation it is a analytical book with a warm heart.
A huge thanks for David for coming onto the podcast!
