First Steps
You’ve been shown a plot, likely chosen one, and once the signing-up process is complete with Richmond Council and you have a key, you’re good to go.
It’s now worth taking stock of the condition of the plot and what you find on it. We’ll walk over your plot with you to identify existing plants, answer your questions and give advice if you’d like it. The borders of your plot will also be clearly pointed out.
