Can i rent my garden?

have a look at HFW's Landshare scheme - you can advertise on there and there is lots of useful advice if you search.

it does work.. I have managed to find someone local to me with space for me to grow veg and there are people looking for something so give it a try!

Allotments are hard to come by at the moment - we even have local councils advertising for land so that they can provide more where we are.

Speak with people at your local allotment - they may know people who are looking. Possibly even advertise at your local garden centre?

Have you heard of rentmygarden? You can rent out your garden for various different uses, growing food, barbecue's, storage...

Certainly seems like something worth looking into, OP.
When I was much younger, my parents had a huge garden. They found an ad on a postcard in a shop window for a guy who wanted a garden to tend, and they agreed to just share the veg, rather than taking any rent.
Growing your own seems very popular nowadays, so I'm sure you'll find someone.

Must be in the wrong part of the midlands, I waited 24 hours for one and a couple of weeks for another.

Can I ask when that was? They are very short in my area - most plots that come up are being split into 2 halves if possible.

Oh, and in my area you can now only sign up for 1 plot, our council rules changed within the last 2 years to remove the family / mini commercial business having 2/3/4 or even more plots when people are waiting.
