Northgate Allotment Association

64 plots on the old nursery ground, tended since 1947
Water is back on. The standpipes by plots 12 and 41 were repaired over the winter. Please keep hoses off the mains between 11am and 3pm on hot days so the far end of the site keeps pressure.

Waiting list

There are eleven names ahead of any new applicant, and we typically release four to six plots a year, usually in late autumn. We will be honest with you: that is a wait of about two years. Half plots come up more often.

Rents for the coming year

Site rules, briefly

No bonfires between April and September. Dogs on leads. Keep paths clear to a metre. Sheds no larger than 2 × 3 metres, and please ask the committee before putting one up.
