I had the pleasure of travailing a few miles up the A38 yesterday to Saddads allotment site up in Derby and was very impressed by the layout there, if you have the chance go and have a look round ( if permission is given ) it is well worth it just to see the hedge laying and THE SHED. ;)

Was it an open day?? Have I missed it?? I've been a couple of times and it must be the NICEST site ever!

No, It was a private showing... open days first Sundays in June and September, 11-5pm NGS £3. Advert to follow, but I'm going for a walk around before dark, as it backs on to the house.. ;D

An amazing looking site, where is it?

Deb P · « **Reply #18 on:** April 11, 2009, 12:04:05 »

The site in near Derby City Centre, and we have two open Days under the NGS Open Gardens Charity scheme. They are always the first Sunday in June and September every year, so this year it's June 7th and September 6th.

We also do 'ad hoc' visits under the same scheme, hence Richards visit the other day. If anyone wants to visit outside of the Open Days just pm either Saddad or me and we can sort something out for you! The main advantages of attending the Open Days is that we have a plant sale which is where we make most of our money for our Allotment Association, plus we do a mean tea tent, with the aforementioned locally made veggy samosas always going down well! ;D
