*National Allotment Week with Nature's Path

Lottie Storey August 2, 2018

ORGANIC CEREAL PIONEER NATURE’S PATH IS SUPPORT THIS MONTH’S NATIONAL ALLOTMENT WEEK. HERE’S WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT

Nature’s Path, the organic gluten-free cereal pioneer, is a champion of the outdoors. In fact, its guiding ethos is ‘Always leave the earth better than you found it’, something that’s shared by anyone with a love of gardening. The company’s commitment to the environment is rooted in sustainability and it is an active supporter of community and urban gardening initiatives. It also maintains a large garden at its HQ – with produce distributed among its staff.

APPRECIATING PLOTS

That’s why the family firm is pleased to be supporting this year’s National Allotment Week, 13–19 August. Organised by The National Allotment Society, National Allotment Week celebrates allotment plots up and down the UK, encouraging everyone to explore what their local community can offer in terms of growing your own.

The week highlights the benefit of allotments – from getting active outdoors, to producing your own food, to meeting and socialising with a range of people locally. Vital for wildlife, these ‘green corridors’ also safeguard land that would otherwise be built on. Just one metre of land can support hundreds of different species.

GROWING FOR EVERYONE

This year’s theme is ‘Living and Growing’. It highlights the importance of growing your own food and bringing gardening into your life. And if there’s a waiting list for an allotment in your area? Don’t be put off. Without waiting lists, allotment authorities cannot assess demand, so it’s great to show as much interest as possible, so that more plots can be made available. And, in the meantime, even growing herbs on your windowsill or tomatoes in a hanging basket can help hone your horticultural skills.

For further details on National Allotment Week and allotments near you, visit nsalg.org.uk. To find out more about Nature’s Path, visit naturespath.com.

Nature’s Path organic gluten-free cereals are some of the most popular in the UK – including its biggest seller, Mesa Sunrise, a delicious cereal flake made with organic corn, flax, quinoa and amaranth. Or try the newly launched Superflakes. As the first organic sprouted grain, superfood cereal on the market, they are the ideal way to start your day. Mix in some home-grown strawberries or raspberries, add a dollop of yogurt and a drizzle of honey – and enjoy a delicious summer breakfast.

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
