Activity | We enjoy the physical and mental benefits of having an allotment and, of course, the produce! We learn and use good gardening practice and encourage sustainable, environmentally friendly methods. We help and advise new members. We are good gardening neighbours, keeping plots cultivated and following rules in the rental agreement with the Parish Council. We share excess produce and seeds with other plot holders – and with neighbours in the village! |
Details | The Association represents tenants who rent a plot on the Bristol Road Allotments from Congresbury Parish Council. We have an annual meeting to elect officers and committee. They liaise with the Parish Council on the upkeep and administration of the allotments and the immediate area. We hold summer and winter social events to meet up with plot holders from across the site. Membership (on payment of £1) provides a 50% discount on a group order from Kings Seeds and a 10% savings on purchases from Garden Park Nurseries on the A370 in Hewish. The allotment shop opens on selected Saturdays in Spring to sell bamboo canes and Growmore at very competitive prices. |
Contact | If you’re interested in getting an allotment – (current rent £45 for a whole and £23 for a half plot) – contact Catrin at the Parish Office admin@congresbury-pc.gov.uk.
