Four young entrepreneurs are set to bring a new kind of business to Bristol - allotments with extras.
Brothers William and Joshua Gay and their friends Ed Morrison and Christian Samuel have seen the potential of setting up new allotments and renting them out with extra services, talks, training and an app, because of the current huge demand for people to grow their own food massively outstripping supply.
With waiting lists for allotment plots in Bristol’s council or society-run allotments anywhere between three and 30 years, and the pandemic prompting a new-found desire among many to get back to nature, Bristol has potentially thousands of would-be allotmenteers but a limited number of plots available.
