We were successful in achieving the Green Flag Community Award for the 18th year in a row due to the hard work and commitment of our members maintaining our allotment site.
At monthly Community Spruce days our members undertake work to maintain the site and help prepare for events.
The assessor described the site a ‘much loved and well used local allotment site and leisure resource for the community providing wellbeing, physical and social activities’.
We will be opening our gates on Sunday 22 May between 11-3pm for our Open Day. You will be able to tour the allotments, visit the Wildlife Garden or sit in the Secret Garden. There will also be stalls, children’s activities, honey bee demonstration, pond dipping, as well as tea, cakes and a BBQ.
There will also be our ever popular Plant sale so you can grow your own at home.
We look forward to welcoming you back to our allotments.
As the new growing season arrives we will start to see the emergence our old friends – dandelions, bindweed, marestail and couch grass.
One of our members, Caroline Brown, has helpfully pulled together this guide to perennial weeds. to help you keep your plot weed free.
