Send us a textIn this video, I sit down and talk to Ed, one of the founders of Roots Allotments, regarding some of the criticism levelled at Roots as a business.  As a Roots Allotment plot holder, I was keen to establish the truth surrounding some of the accusations that I had read online, and Ed was amazing in re-assuring and addressing those concerns head on.The passion in Ed's voice is incredible as he talks about the joy surrounding growing, but the harsh reality that it is increasingly important for us to have access to a growing space.  I have so much respect for Ed, being willing to talk to honestly and transparently.  I found this chat incredibly reassuring and inspiring and hope you do too.The Growing Up Podcast is proudly sponsored by the amazing First Tunnels.
