Waiting List: - St Andrews Allotments are happy to welcome new tenants, to add your name to our waiting list please contact the Secretary using the form below.
As a guide to taking on an allotment plot the RHS, Allotments: - Getting Started provides some useful infromation.
Not mentioned on the RHS Allotment page but still important to consider: -
Time & Effort - Taking on and maintaining a plot requires some time and effort throughout the year; preparation, planting, weeding, harvesting and keeping a plot tidy is an ongoing task.
Money - You will need a budget for tools, seeds, compost/maure and other essential items. It is also worth considering that growing your own isn't always a saving, buying your vegetables from the market can sometimes work out cheaper.
We presently have 45 people on our waiting list.
Note - you will need to live within 2 mile from the allotment to apply for our waiting list.
Note:- we are unable to give an estimated time for waiting as this is dependent on present tenants leaving.
