There are approx 40 plots on our site, just nice, it's surrounded on all sides with back gardens and you can't see it from the entrance so we get very little trouble from veggie burglars. I've cut the main grass here for a few years and yet people still wang rocks on there... so I cut high and it's been enough to stop someone coming in with a sprayer. But we love our allotment and the time can just fly by. Our first plot was 20ft x 100ft -- the first thing we did was to put up four reinforced pallet bins, bolted together, one 6x4 and three 4x4. We fill the big one first, then turn this into the next one, then the next one until the last turn goes through a stout wooden…

A growing reality.
De første kolonihaver blev oprettet i Ålborg i slutningen af 1800-tallet. Dengang fungerede kolonihaverne primært som nyttehaver og var en vigtig del af arbejderfamiliernes hverdag. Siden da har kolonihaverne udviklet til at være et frirum uden for byernes trængsel. Det er et sted, vi tager hen for at dyrke grøntsager, få sol i kinderne og lytte til fuglenes smukke sang. Følelsen af højt til loftet og græs mellem tæerne giver kolonihaverne en helt særlig status i rigtig mange danskeres hjerter. Plakaterne er trykt i Danmark på svensk miljøvenligt papir 170 gr. Arctic Silk. A5 kortet er 350 gr. Profisilk med mat vandlak. ViSSEVASSE sætter en ære i at være miljøbevidste og vi er stolte af at være FSC® certificerede (SCS-COC-005763-BS).
