Lavender lovers are being encouraged to get involved in this years Adopt-a-row scheme.

A row at the award-winning lavender field at Stanley Road Allotments would be a great gift for a nominal fee this spring.

For a small time commitment, you can improve your fitness and gain personal satisfaction from involvement in a local community project.

It is also an opportunity to socialise. Adopters will receive an Adopt-a-Row certificate, a free bucket of lavender per row and there will be a prize awarded for the most weed-free row.

To find out more about Adopt-a-Row, contact Carshalton Lavender by emailing carshaltonlavender@yahoo.co.uk, or call Kathleen on 020 8669 4106.
