http://news.bbc.co.uk/Photo: Edith Avery says the allotment behind her kitchen is like a garden.
An 89-year-old widow fears she may lose the allotment she has had for 30 years because a council says plot holders must grow mostly vegetables.
Edith Avery grew veg for years on the allotment behind her cottage in Rogerstone, Newport, but has gone over to shrubs and flowers.
Rogerstone Community Council has sent letters telling holders to comply with policy.
It said it was trying to find a resolution to Mrs Avery's case.
Mrs Avery began renting the allotment with her late husband, Albert, a D-Day veteran, and the pair grew vegetables for many years.
The plot is a few paces from Mrs Avery's home, and can be seen from her kitchen window.
She said she was upset by a letter which she said told her to bring her plot into line with allotment policy.
