Welcome!
Welcome to Hatherop Road Allotments! We’re thrilled to have you with us.
Getting started on an allotment can be a pretty daunting thing. Hardly any of us have started out with a pristine, weedless plot. We all start with a huge amount of work that needs to be done before we’re savouring the our first home grown produce!
So know that you’re all alone. Everyone you meet at Hatherop Road Allotments has been there and are happy to share their tips and tricks for having great success and a lot of fun doing it.
This guide walks you through everything you need to get going on your plot — from your first jobs and clearing weeds, to planning, planting and watering. Work through it in order, or jump straight to what you need!
