# Allotment Atlas

> Allotment Atlas is a free, independent, source-linked allotment directory for the UK and Ireland, created by Tony Smith alongside GrowMore CookMore.

Atlas helps people find possible growing places, explore a map, save a private shortlist and follow published contact routes. It does not run the listed sites or allocate plots. Saving a site does not submit an application or join a waiting list.

The catalogue combines dated mapping and published information. A record is not confirmation of a unique operating site, a current vacancy, current costs, an entrance or permission to visit. Check current arrangements with the named operator. An area enquiry route is not proof that the council manages a site. Unknown details remain unknown.
