Allotment Gardening
| Leader: | Steve Fallows |
| Meeting Day: | Fourth Thursday at 2:00 p.m. |
| Venue: | Byrons Lane Allotments off Laburnum Road |
We are an enthusiastic group of amateur gardeners who enjoy growing our own.
We each have small individual plots, where we grow a wide range of vegetables, fruit and flowers for our own use. Success varies with the weather and our expertise but we generally manage to produce something that we can take home without too much embarrassment. We also have a shared greenhouse and shed. The shed means that we can store the Group’s tools and make use of them when we are on our plots.
The allotment is managed by Byrons Lane Allotment Holders Association (BLAHA) - of which we are members.
As well as meeting U3A Group members on the plot, it’s a good place to meet other gardeners to share tips and ideas - or just to sit and enjoy the peace and a brew. Many BLAHA members have years of experience which they are willing to share. We join with them from time to time to undertake fence, path and hedge maintenance of the site. They also have a shed where compost and other items are available to purchase.
We have a short waiting list, as plots do become available from time to time. Feel free to get in touch if you think that you may be interested. Just email using the "Click to send a message" icon at the top of this page.
