description Allotment gardens are an ideal place to analyse the links between plant diversity and social diversity. This study aims to characterise the cultivated and spontaneous plant diversity of allotments and to analyse its links with the socio-demographic characteristics of the gardeners. On the basis of data from 150 allotment garden plots in two cities in the Loire region, we first analyse the complex interweaving of spaces and actors in allotment gardens and describe the socio-demographic diversity of gardeners. We then show the contrast between the high diversity of cultivated plants and the limited diversity of spontaneous flora and micro-habitats in the plots, and identify the effects of gender, social background, residential situation and rural or urban origin of gardeners on plant diversity. The responsibility of the gardening norms transmitted by the managers and the uniqueness of the food function of these spaces is underlined.
