‘Poets, Prattlers, and Pandemonialists were delighted to be commissioned to write poems about Boundary Way Allotments and run online poetry workshops as part of the ‘Postcards from the Plot’ project. We really enjoyed mooching about the allotments, and taking in the views of big sky and the Wrekin as we pottered amongst the amazing variety of plots.’
