aka a Community Gardening Club.
Thanks to a grant from BAA, we are creating a gardening club from two unused plots. The digger has been in and the rats evicted, now we need members to help turn to bare soil in to a productive community growing space.
We have 60+ people on the waiting list and if we continue to re-let just one half plot a year, that means that people at the bottom of the list are unlikely to get a plot in this lifetime.
I see the idea of community gardening clubs to be the way forward - for as long as GYO remains as popular as it is.
We gave people on the waiting list first refusal and only 3 took up the offer; haven't decided what message the others are sending but we are pressing on undaunted (but a bit sad)
We have a membership application form - if you are interested go to
