Context
Administrative/Biographical history:
The London Association of Recreational Gardeners inaugural meeting took place on 9th February 1974. Its object was to promote, encourage and protect the interests of its members in the pursuit of recreational gardening.
Their president was Lord Wallace of Coslany who was a campaigner for social justice, particularly on matters close to his heart such as saving allotments from encroachment by property developers.
The Association produced a journal including information on current alltotment matters and horticultural practises, ran lectures on 'Modern planned allotment gardens', 'Food from our own resources' and other horticultural subjects and assisted member organisations with Local Authorities and Government Departments on matters concerning the welfare and protection of allotment garden sites in co-operation with Borough organisations as well as offering horticultural, legal and insurance advice.
