If it is the same show that was on HTV west last year, then it is actually from many of the allotments across Bristol, rather than just one. I lived in Bath when it was aired so I did not know about the allotments in Bristol at that point. I don't think my allotment has ever been on it though, as it is a pretty small one with only a handful of plots.

Here's a picture of my mums allotment in bristol. Though you might not think so to see it this little valley is near the centre of bristol. At the time of the photo theres a street party going on. Notice those strange houses in the upper left - those are part of a new environmentally friendly development. Ah sweet summer - it will soon be with us again.

May the road rise before you and the wind be always at your back,
May you be half an hour in heaven before the Devil knows you're dead,
Farewell, and I hope we meet again at another turn o the way.
