With allotment gardeners Martin Parr created a new series which he realized in five allotments
in Düsseldorf and Krefeld. He met Mathis just 15 years old who runs the garden for his father
a multi-generational operation growing strictly organic fruit and vegetables and he also spoke
with young parents who share a garden with Ingo the cactus breeder with Michael the miniature
train enthusiast and with Petra the tomato woman. Allotment gardeners is the loving view on
one of the original German clichés: the allotment gardeners. With his own British-humorous look
Martin Parr created portraits of allotment gardeners that go beyond the persons.
