About Cutteslowe Allotments

We are a small, friendly allotment association based on the edge of Cutteslowe Park. We are run by a volunteer committee and we are registered under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act.

We have some 36 allotments and 64 members. The plots vary in size from smaller starter plots and half plots to larger full plots. We have raised beds for those with mobility issues.

We're proud of our efforts to also benefit the wider Cutteslowe community. See more here.

Our membership spans the full age range from youngsters at school and those in their early twenties together with families with children and senior citizens. We have an almost equal number of men and women and multiple nationalities cultivating a wide range of vegetables and fruit. We have a mix of experienced vegetable growers and many members who have recently joined in the fun and pleasure that can be had growing and eating your own produce.

Facilities include:

• an on-site composting toilet

• mains water

• a hand pumped well

• a members' shared poly tunnel

• a solar power source for charging batteries

• a shed for produce donations (to Cutteslowe Larder) and for seed swaps

• use of a rotovator

• secure container storage for association equipment, including some tools to share.

The association also arranges deliveries of bark and compost/manure. We have regular work parties and an annual Summer BBQ for family and friends.
