Visste du att vikingarna odlade både koriander och den ätbara perennen Den gode Henriks målla? Och att arkitekten Wilhelm Klemming för över hundra år sedan lanserade gröna tak som ett sätt att behålla grönskan i den växande staden?
Sverige var länge ett av Europas fattigaste länder, men genom kolonilotter och egnahemsrörelsen skulle även de mindre bemedlade få en plats att odla sin mat på. Under 1800-talet ordnade också arbetsgivare så att deras anställda fick odlingslotter, som fabrikören på Jonsereds fabriker som döpte sitt odlingsområde till Amerika i hopp om att människor skulle låta bli att emigrera om de fick en bit mark att odla på. När funktionalismen slog igenom på 1930-talet blev köken små. Vi skulle inte längre behöva odla vår mat själva utan kunde köpa den färdig i snabbköpet, öppna en konserv och värma. Men grönytorna i staden var fortsatt viktiga och det satsades på barnen med plaskdammar och lekplatser. Odlingen i staden och behovet av gröna ytor för rekreation går som en röd tråd genom både mat- och stadsbyggnadshistorien. I boken presenteras både växtporträtt och lite odlingstips kring odling i staden.
Ulrika Flodin Furås arbetar med trädgård och är specialiserad på stadsodling. Hon jobbar praktiskt med odling, designar olika typer av stadsodlingar och museiträdgårdar, bland annat på Naturhistoriska riksmuseet, Vasamuseets renässansträdgård och Spritmuseum. Ulrika är även verksam som författare, fotograf och journalist, framförallt med Koloniträdgårdsförbundets tidning Koloniträdgården. Hon har tidigare gett ut böckerna Gatsmart odling, 2012, Bergtagen Berättelsen om Norberg och järnmalmen, 2014 och Urban odling tak, terrass, balkong, 2016. Ulrika arbetar också som guide och ciceron samt som föredragshållare.

Med De lyckligt lottade - Kolonisterna och stadens gröna kulturarv ger Jönköpings läns museum ut den mest omfattande boken på svenska om kolonirörelsen av idag samtidigt som den speglar kolonirörelsen i staden ur ett historiskt perspektiv. Trots att författarna verkar i en lokal kontext - Jönköping med omnejd -är boken relevant för alla som har eller drömmer om en kolonilott. Bokens titel De lyckligt lottade syftar på de människor som har haft turen att komma över en kolonilott. Det som genomsyrar kolonisten är den glädje hen känner i förhållande till sin lott: förberedelserna, odlingen, skörden och planeringen för ett nytt odlingsår. Här ingår även slitet, grävandet, lyckade satsningar såväl som bakslag. Det ska inte stickas under stol med att boken också har en agenda: att planerare och beslutsfattare ska förstå vilka hållbarhetsmål och ekosystemtjänster koloniområdena bidrar till i staden. De är stadens gröna lungor och en del av den gröna infrastrukturen samtidigt som de är en plats för kolonisterna att odla kropp och själ. Och inte minst utgör de ett av stadens viktiga kulturarv.

Michelin-starred chef and star of BBC 2’s Economy Gastronomy Paul Merrett is using the plot…This is the story of how one man swaps his shopping trolley for a wheelbarrow and cooks up fine, homely food as a result.This is the story of how a famous foodie turns to a small plot of communal land to feed his family. Having become tired of poor-quality supermarket food and disillusioned with the dubious ethics of large corporations, Paul Merrett takes an allotment to see if he and his family can live off the fruit and vegetables they are able to grow. Along the way Paul reconnects with his grandparents' legacy of self-sufficiency and discovers the unbeatable flavour of a home-grown green tomato (especially when it's turned into salsa with spring onion and mint). He also learns that our romantic notions of a simpler life are not as simple as they seem…The Allotment Chef follows Paul, his wife and two reluctant children as they learn to garden, make what they hope is their final trip to the supermarket, build relationships with fellow allotmenteers and slowly watch their crops flourish and sometimes fail. They contend with the inevitable disappointments along the way with good humour and perseverance, and only the occasional temper tantrum.As the asparagus poke through the soil and the battle against the lettuce-munching slugs is won, Paul turns his humble vegetables into recipes worthy of his epicurean background. He includes over 85 allotment-inspired recipes, including simple dishes such as One Pot Vegetable Stew and Meringue Cake with Summer Berries as well as more involved dishes such as Pumpkin Ravioli, Tea-Smoked Chicken Breast on Allotment Vegetables and Steamed Walnut and Allspice Sponge with Roasted Plums.Paul’s charming narrative is interspersed with his personal take on food ethics, celebrity chefs and the legacy of his self-sufficient grandparents. Reportage and food photography accompanies his story. Part recipe book, part memoir, The Allotment Chef is an engaging, informative and humorous read.

‘When I am disturbed, even angry, gardening has been a therapy. When I don't want to talk I turn to Plot 29, or to a wilder piece of land by a northern sea. There, among seeds and trees, my breathing slows; my heart rate too. My anxieties slip away.’ As a young boy in 1960s Plymouth, Allan Jenkins and his brother, Christopher, were rescued from their care home and fostered by an elderly couple. There, the brothers started to grow flowers in their riverside cottage. They found a new life with their new mum and dad.As Allan grew older, his foster parents were never quite able to provide the family he and his brother needed, but the solace he found in tending a small London allotment echoed the childhood moments when he grew nasturtiums from seed.Over the course of a year, Allan digs deeper into his past, seeking to learn more about his absent parents. Examining the truths and untruths that he’d been told, he discovers the secrets to why the two boys were in care. What emerges is a vivid portrait of the violence and neglect that lay at the heart of his family.A beautifully written, haunting memoir, Plot 29 is a mystery story and meditation on nature and nurture. It’s also a celebration of the joy to be found in sharing food and flowers with people you love.

Robin Shelton and his mate Steve were complete neophytes when they decided that having an allotment might save them a bit of money. But what had seemed like a good idea over a couple of beers seemed rather more daunting when faced with a weedy patch of ground. Still, both men were at a crisis point in their lives and the allotment represented their desire to achieve something concrete. They persevered and, despite the weather and confusing advice from their elderly allotment neighbours, managed to plant and grow a successful crop of vegetables.As he writes about their year in the allotment, Robin describes his own personal journey. When he takes the allotment on he is divorced, broke and suffering from depression. Working on the allotment brings back happy memories of his father, who died when Robin was sixteen, and also draws him closer to his own two sons. Gradually Robin finds stability and a sense of purpose in his life. His and Steve's tale is funny, moving and enlightening - a book for anyone who's ever bitten off more than they can chew, but muddled through anyway."Their struggle to plant their crops against the baffling advice of fellow allotment holders is funny and moving. Our heroes finish the year wiser, saner and with an impressive array of veg." Daily Express"A comforting antidote to the glossy perfection of gardening on the telly." Evening Standard
