JANES GROWNG GARDEN in STONE -GINADOVERJ

A thoroughly naturalist, organic, no-dig allotment garden in the historic Market Town of Stone, Staffordshire

Jane's Little Slice of Heaven
 

A particularly beautiful story of an allotment grower

Jane Kelly of Jane's Growing Garden wiles away her days nurturing, and harvesting the fruits of her labour in her garden allotment in the historical own of Stone in Staffordshire.​

 

Jane's garden allotment is a realistic reflection of her allotment life. Insect-riddled apples stay where they fall as offerings for nature, whilst randomly planted trees and archways add height, and intrigue as they obscure the eye. Flowers spill and sprawl as they soften pathways, and chickens roam about freely.

​

Toward the end of the day when soft dappled light fills the allotment, Jane reflects on the day, partakes in a cup of coffee, cuddles her chickens, and looks across to her neighbouring allotments. â€‹

Jane’s allotment is a complete reflection of her. You will not see a beautifully manicured space, but a realistically relaxed reflection of allotment life. Insect-riddled apples stay where they fall as offerings to nature, whilst randomly planted trees and archways add height and intrigue as they obscure the eye. Flower beds soften pathways as they spill and sprawl, and chickens cluck as they roam about, receiving the occasional cuddle from Jane.
