Downton Abbey actor Jim Carter has backed a London scheme that is turning acres of unused land into allotments to teach children about growing food.
The 75-year-old called for gardening to be on the national curriculum and gave his “wholehearted support” to Hounslow Council’s Grow for the Future scheme which has seen 27 acres of wasteland in the borough earmarked to become new allotments, community gardens and orchards.
