Another big project was creating a plot suitable for a person with limited mobility. We designed it to be suitable for a wheelchair user.

Quite a lot of hard work went into constructing this.

It has been revamped and is now a huge success

We were at risk of losing 3 plots due to a natural spring flooding the plots.

Our only solution was to lay drainage pipe across the whole width of the site.

This was in February and March 2001.

The spring couldn't have been further from the brook.

July saw our new meeting room erected.

A 16' x 16' double garage lined out and decorated by ourselves.

Another well turned out show August 2006. Shown here is a selection of soft fruit. After the show, produce that is nor collected is sold off. The proceeds of course goes to the Edward's Trust.

We try to encourage everone to have a go- it's the taking part that matters.

By 2003 and ever expanding we'd grown out of our office and it had to go to make way for a new one.

As it had to fit into an exact space we had no choice but to build the new building ourselves.

Terry and Dave worked very hard on this.

A plotholder demolished the old building, cleared more space at the rear and prepared the base.

Decorated out and carpet laid it's surprising how many cups of tea we've sold now everything is back to normal.

If you want any tips on pumpkins, Spencer is the man to ask.

Our oldest plotholder Len, at a young 94 years.

He has only recently constructed this great tool locker himself with a fold up potting bench. Even his nest box on his plot was home to a family of blue tits.

Our latest project - providing a toilet facility with wheelchair access. This was started in August 2004 and was finished by the end of September. It was an essential project to undertake particulary with the raised bed plot on site.

Allotment gardening is not all about hard work, it's about a good cup of tea and a comfortable seat. Don and Dennis take a rest.

At least when it snows everyone's plot looks the same.
