There’s An ‘Airbnb’ For Garden Rental, Here’s How It Works

If you’ve ever applied for an allotment, you’ll be well aware of the long waiting lists, which can vary from one year to 40, depending on where you live.

Demand for allotments surged during lockdown, too, with the National Allotment Society reporting an uplift of more than 300% last year. It can be seriously frustrating if you live in a home with limited or no outdoor space.

But green-fingered enthusiasts now have another option, thanks to the launch of an Airbnb-style rental platform for gardens.

AllotMe allows people across the UK to rent their spare outdoor space to those seeking somewhere to grow their own fruit, veg and plants. The minimum length for any garden rental is one season or three months and, just like Airbnb, hosts set the price. Current listings are around £20-£25 per month.

The platform was created by architect-turned-entrepreneur Conor Gallagher in response to the rising demand for green space – particularly in London, where people wait years to secure allotment space.
