We hope you find this web site interesting and informative.  Our site has been turned round from a near derelict site in the early 1990's into a thriving fully tenanted site.

 

 

 You won't fail to miss the site entrance, (on Beeches Road, Great Barr, opposite the Neighbourhood Office ) with the sandwich boards out at the weekend.

 Our site is a haven, nestling to the right of the M6 motorway. A brook lined with hawthorn trees separates us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Visitors are welcome Saturdays and Sundays 11.00 a.m - 3.30 p.m.

 

We are listed in the Allotment Regeneration Initiative Good Sites Guide 2005.

We are a site of 71 Plots with toilet facilities, including disabled, tarmac roadway and water supply.

 

 

Our gardeners range from 6 years to 94 years.

 

 

New plotholders are issued with a Welcome Pack including information on getting a plot started e.g. composting, fertilisers, companion growing etc.

 

 

Plotholders are provided with a monthly newsletter free of charge.

 

 

We are affiliated to both the National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners and The Birmingham and District Allotments Council.

 

 

Local school children have always been encouraged on the site in supervised groups.  It's never too early to start their interests in growing.

 

 

Andy Poyner our new chairman and events organiser is looking forward to an exciting year. The committee will be working hard to improve the site and hopefully winning  the Frank Carter Memorial Trophy for the second time.
 

  

 

We hold an annual Fun/Open day each year for our chosen charities. This year it is Air Ambulance and First Responders. The event gets bigger and better each year. Shown here is Marjorie on the cake stall. We sell tea and coffee and you can sit and enjoy your cake and listen to live music played by Brian on his keyboard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We hold a Christmas Fayre in December. This is where we sell home made jams and pickled onions. together with Christmas decorations and gifts. This is held in our newly decorated community room.

All the money goes to our chosen charities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Father Christmas visits us every year to see what all the boys and girls want for Christmas, and gives them all a small gift.
