Plot
Availability @ Brook Road
We regret that we have no plots available to rent immediately.
However, if you are interested, NOW is the time to make
that interest known, as a plot can become available at any time.
Growing Demand
In anticipation of the growing
demand for plots within our site, we have recently undertaken a plot
resizing and renumbering operation.
This has effectively increased the site from 53 to 91 plots. Amongst
many benefits it makes smaller plots for those just starting out, and by
splitting the majority of larger plots it enables those members who wish to
downsize due to age or health restrictions (for example) to decide which
part of their plot they want to give up, so they don't have to move to
another part of the site in order to continue.
We always
recommend anyone new to allotment gardening, or new to gardening entirely, that a small
plot is a good starting point as it is often the sudden realisation of how fast weeds grow
during warm weather and the job of keeping on top of them that can lead to despair and
abandonment of what could have been a very successful plot, if only it had been smaller.
Rest
& Recreation
In
order to encourage members with families to come and enjoy the benefits of
the outside life, we are creating a picnic / play area adjacent to plot 71
in the middle of the site. with the installation of a couple of picnic
benches, it is hoped that tea/coffee breaks will become a more sociable
event, especially during the better weather!
Further Information
Further information can be obtained from the
Site Manager who is available on site most mornings till about 12 noon, any committee
member, or email secretary@allotment-gardeners.co.uk
