Weaste Allotments & Gardening Association

About Us

Allotments give plot holders a place to grow their own seasonal fresh vegetables and fruit. A full size plot 280 sqm – worked on and weather permitting – can provide enough vegetables and fruit for a family of four throughout the year. The Weaste site also has some half plots. In September, 2022 four small plots with trugs on legs were created in the #BeEasyAccess Project. These are offered to people who would like a small space with higher raised bed access. The allotments are home to hives of bees on several plots – great for helping pollination, a Community Orchard for fruit in summer and autumn, and a Community Shop selling useful things for growing.
