Leeds Allotments Federation (LAF)
Leeds Allotments Federation is the voice for allotment and leisure gardeners in the greater Leeds area. LAF represents about fifty local self-managed allotment sites , and we have close links with Leeds City Council. LAF campaigns to promote allotment gardening on the national stage as well, through our membership in the National Allotment Society.
LAF runs events for members. Lately our efforts have been on a series of useful learning days.
If you are looking for an allotment near you in Leeds, have a look at the list of sites and maps on the LAF Members page.
