Plant swap, 4th June 2017
We are having another plant swap after last year’s success. In the shop on Sunday 4th of June from 11, bring along your excess seedlings, take home some you need. Donations to Garden Organic if you have nothing to swap but want to join in. Bring cakes if the fancy takes you.
Gates being left open
Please make sure you lock the gates behind you when coming in or out. They have been left open several times lately and we would rather not have uninvited visitors on site.
Also please close the car park gates at the main entrance if you are the last one to leave.
Thanks everyone

End of vehicle ban
The paths have now dried out, and are open for vehicle use again. Please only drive on them to deliver or collect items to or from your plot, and use your discretion re the weather. If the paths become very wet again the vehicle ban may be reinstated.
Fruit tree/bush sale and pruning talk, Saturday 11th March
Andy Howard of the Heritage Fruit Tree Company will be visiting us again on Saturday 11th March for a talk on pruning 10-11, then a fruit sale from 11-12.
For the best choice of varieties please pre-order from the extensive list of bare root stock which you should have received by email – contact our hotmail address if you need a copy.
Bonfires
It’s great to see so many people out and getting started on their plots this spring. Please remember thought that bonfires should only be burnt after six pm (or dusk, whichever is the earlier), and not at all on Sundays. Also please don’t burn stuff that is still green and will generate clouds of black smoke – compost it or dry it before burning. These rules are for the benefit of all plotholders and residents of adjoining houses.
Shop opening hours extended
The allotment shop will be open from 10am to 12am every Sunday until the end of April
