If you want to rent an allotment garden, you should first think about how you want to set it up. Here are 2 system variants presented.
Allotments: Idyll allotment garden on the outskirts
An allotment garden is an idyllic allotment garden mostly located on the outskirts of town. A favorite garden setting for city dwellers who mostly live in apartment blocks and want to enjoy a little fresh garden air in their free time.
Individual allotment plots can either be bought or rented for a defined period of time. In addition, most gardens even set up their own association with statutes and plant regulations. In addition, in many of these facilities, public facilities such as toilets, washing facilities, fountains and the like are used and maintained jointly.
How would you like to use your allotment?
If you are thinking about buying or renting a small allotment plot, you should first think about how you want to use your allotment later. Because this is an important point for the allotment garden design. Basically, when creating an allotment garden, a distinction is always made as to whether it should be a pure recreation area, a vegetable garden and/or an orchard, or a combination of both.
Once that has been clarified, you can subdivide your small parcel much better. A garden shed standing in it should usually form the center (or starting point). The following explains how the two plant variants Recreational garden and Orchard/vegetable garden differ.
Allotment garden: 2 variants presented
Variation No. 1 - Recreational Garden:
A purely recreational allotment is usually very well maintained, has spacious lawns and wonderful flower beds. If there is enough space, you can also accommodate a swimming pool and children's equipment (swing, sandpit, etc.) in it.
In a recreational garden, the garden house is mainly used for socializing (partlyeven with sleeping accommodation). These often even have a sunny terrace area and a brick barbecue area, etc.
Variant No. 2 - Orchard and vegetable garden:
In a fruit allotment/vegetable allotment, on the other hand, the focus is clearly on fresh cultivation. Hobby gardeners prefer to grow seasonal products in the allotment garden for their own consumption. And always combined with shady fruit trees and a gazebo.
With this system variant, the garden shed must of course accommodate far more equipment, as well as garden furniture. With this system variant, there is always only a little space available in the gazebo for socializing.
