Belfast man's new 'Airbnb for gardeners' tackling food poverty, climate change and dead spaces

A new ‘Airbnb for gardeners’ that lets households rent their garden space as an allotment, has been set up by Belfast architect Connor Gallagher.

A year into starting the business, Connor is already expanding having secured a £250,000 investment including more than £50,000 from the HBAN Angel Network in Northern Ireland.

His online marketplace for allotments, AllotMe, pairs anybody with available outdoor space with people seeking somewhere to grow their own – known on the platform as ‘greenfingers’.
