Open Day 2019

Our Annual Open Day is our favourite event of the year.  It’s when we throw open our doors and welcome the community in for the day.

The Clubhouse Cafe will be open as usual serving home made cakes and refreshments.  There will also be a barbecue.  The shop will be open selling gardening equipment and there will be plenty of plants for sale.  Local children enjoy the various activities and entertainments including a bouncy castle, hook-a-duck and a magic show.

It is also a chance to tour the allotments gaining inspiration and marveling at the variety of ways to grow fruit, flowers and vegetables.   You can also see how the Secret Garden is maturing and go pond dipping in the Wildlife Garden.

This year the Churchfields Choir and Beckenham Choir will be performing and we will have various stalls and demonstrations, including soap making.

Please come along and share our Green Flag Community Garden for the day!

Seedy Sunday – 24th March 2019

When we were consulting on what people wanted to see at Dorset Road Allotments,  members frequently asked for opportunities to come together as a community to do something to benefit the site as well as get to know each other.  Our first community day was in February when we planted new hedging and seed bombed the wildlife garden.  Seedy Sunday on 24th March is our second community day.

Come along to the Clubhouse to swap any spare seeds or plants with your fellow plotholders, help sow seeds to sell at the open day and learn from experts.  You can also have a cup of tea or coffee with your fellow allotmenteers.

The shop will also be open so that  you can stock up on any gardening equipment or buy some seeds at a discounted price.

We look forward to seeing you on the 24th March.
