Thornbridge Allotments Society

Birmingham

Welcome to our web site. We hope that you will find it 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. We are self managed and have a very active committee that strives to ensure that our plot holders and visitors have a wonderful time whilst on site.

 

You won't fail to miss the site entrance, which is situated on Beeches Road, Great Barr, opposite the Neighbourhood Office. Watch out for the the sandwich boards out at the weekend.

 

Look at our monthly newsletters which you can download at the bottom of this page.

 

Please also view the document entitled RULE 6.1 regarding the use of hose pipes on site.

We are a site of approximately 80 plots with toilet facilities including disabled, tarmac road and water supply..

New plotholders are issued with a welcome pack, including information on getting started.

Although we have a small car park, most plotholders make room for parking on the front of their plots.

 

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

                                                                                                                                          

 

 

 

 

We raise money for our local charities by holding a summer Fayre. Home made cakes and jams are on sale, also bottle tombola, raffle and face painting for the younger ones.

We have a similar event  before Christmas which of course includes Father Christmas
