A Barnsley woman is offering her garden as an allotment to 'anyone who wants to use it'.
Jill Makinson Harrison, from High Street, Shafton, said: "I have a fairly decent-sized garden but I just never have the time do anything with it - I only maintain the grass - so all this land is wasted."
Jill explained that she would only allow people from Shafton to use her garden, as the whole point of the project is to keep it local.
There is no cost to use a plot in her garden.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
