Escaped To The Allotment

Hi, I’m Marketa, and this is my little escape to the allotment, based in Coventry, UK 🌱

2.5 years ago I stepped onto a very neglected allotment. It was overgrown, wild, and a little intimidating. But I saw potential — a quiet corner where I could escape, get my hands in the soil, and watch something grow.

Since then, it’s been a journey of small victories and muddy lessons and gradually turned this forgotten plot into a space full of life and colour. Every bed, every row, and every harvest tells a story. 

On this channel you’ll find the ups, downs, and muddy boots of real UK allotment life — sowing seeds in spring, battling slugs, harvesting what the seasons give, and sometimes just standing quietly, watching the plot grow. Nothing is perfect, nothing is staged just honest gardening. 

Whether you’re an experienced grower, dreaming of your first plot, or just love peaceful, nature-filled moments, pull on your wellies and join me.
