- a bunch

A plot?
A heap?
A barrow?
coat on...door :-[
A crop.
A mulch?

a sack ?
a feast ?
a teapot? or perhaps that's too obscure...
;D
How about:
A Drill?
or as we are very into abbreviations, how about a GOA??

Well, maybe if we choose a word and define it as a group of allotmenteers, it will make its way into the Oxford English Dictionary with that definition!

Fantastic !
my contribution - a glut
From personal experience I would have to offer "An Addiction of Allotmenteers"
But Ace's suggestions are inspired!

Lovely ideas...but have to object to a 'potter' for ladies...
We can dig as well as the best of 'em, when we have to . Of course a strong spade merchant helps, but then we get left with ' I need a shower darling' ....'gin and tonic'......'supper ready then?'
Enough said?

A digging, a potter (for both sexes), a natter? Maybe a planting?
A Glut ?
I like Wickers suggestion of an Addiction but maybe that should be for a group of A4A members !!!

An enthusiasm? :D
A plethy of plotterers...
