New Gardeners - general information

Welcome.

Allotment sites are friendly places. Many gardeners come to their allotment to enjoy the peace and quiet, but if you are looking for gardening advice you'll probably find someone who's glad of a chat.

Please help us to make our allotments sites, attractive, safe places where people can enjoy gardening.

To help us do this we would ask you to remember that:

  • you have a duty of care to other people in the site. Please show consideration for your plot neighbours and visitors to the site
  • you are responsible for properly supervising any children who come with you onto the site
  • you must keep any pets under control at all times
  • your allotment garden needs regular attention to keep it tidy and productive
  • you must garden in accordance with the conditions of your Tenancy Agreement

We hope you enjoy your allotment garden and would like to wish you 'Happy Gardening.'
