The Committee has cancelled the skip that was arranged for Thursday 26th March 2020.
The health of our plot holders is our top priority at this time and we will arrange to have another skip when it is safe to do so.

Skip Delivery
A skip will be available at the main gate of the allotment site from Thursday 26th March, until it is full. It is for the disposal of allotment rubbish only, but the skip should not be filled with rubble, soil or compostable material.
If you wish to make use of the skip to clear rubbish from your plot at this difficult time, please make sure to follow Government guidelines on social distancing and hand washing.

Thanks to Jamie, Plot 13B, for providing these videos.

Apple bobbing
Our Coots are taking advantage of the many fallen apples and have their novel way of eating them.

Please wear suitable footwear and gloves and bring bowsaws and loppers if you have them. Other tools will be provided.

November Work Party
Thanks to the ten plus volunteers who turned up over three days to clear years of accumulated rubbish and overgrown vegetation from one of our plots, prior to its re-letting. A tremendous amount of work was achieved in order to make the site presentable to new tenants.
The photographs show some of the work in progress. Thanks to Chris Chalmers for the first two photographs.
Congratulations
Louise and Andrew Lees were awarded a top award for the second year running in the Kent Wildlife Trust Wild about Gardens Award Scheme. Their plot was selected as the best in plots for its good mix of vegetables and fruit for consumption and thoughtful planting of a variety of plants to attract pollinators and a range of other wildlife.
