UK: Councillor grows ideas on allotment with 95-year-old grandad
He encouraged residents to get involved with allotments and take part in National Allotment Week activities through the National Allotment Society website.
By Michael Ribbeck, Swindon Advertiser, Aug 10, 2026
Excerpt:
Swindon Borough Councillor Jake Chandler, who represents St Andrews, returned to the site where he first began gardening to help his grandfather on the plot.
His grandfather, now nearly 95, still tends to the allotment and credits it for keeping him healthy and socially connected.
Cllr Chandler said: “I spoke with BBC Wiltshire and John and Sandie from SALGA Swindon Allotment Leisure Garden Association.
“As the allotment association of Swindon and a registered charity, both their passion for allotments came across when talking to Sue from the BBC, and I’m very grateful to them for giving up time today.
“SALGA run events throughout the year as well as the allotment store (also at Pickards Field), which is entirely staffed by volunteers.
