FAQ's

How much will it cost me?
First year £295.00, and £220.00 per year thereafter

Can I put a shed on my plot?
Yes, however we ask that all sheds get approval before erection.

Can I barbeque/cook on my plot?
Yes, we want to encourage all of our plot holders to cook and eat their produce on-site and also build up a community atmosphere. Maurice stated, "By barbequing the food on-site, not only can the allotment holders enjoy the fresh air and views, they can also turn unhealthy and expensive food miles into cost efficient and healthy food metres."

What can I grow on my plot?
You can grow anything from vegetables to flowers, but there are certain restrictions on trees.

How do I learn about growing?
Maurice has a lifetime of knowledge and experience and will be only too happy to assist you at any time; we give each new plot owner a free hard-back copy of "THE ALLOTMENT BOOK" (r.r.p £17.99 ) and other tenants are more than happy to share first-hand experiences.

How do I get started on my Allotment?
