Hello and welcome to Soil and Ink, a blog written by Rachael Allen about allotment gardening and screenprinting.

I have a lovely and slightly dishevelled allotment down by the river Leach in Eastleach, Gloucestershire. It’s a place to dig, draw, and grow. My screenprinting studio is in the garden at our house which is also home to my partners creative design studio onepointoh.co.uk. I also have 2 young kids, 2 very elderly cats, 3 chickens, a few frogs and a mad dog called Betty.
