Southcote GrowALlot

Southcote GrowALlot

Local families have transformed a piece of derelict land at Florian Gardens, Southcote into a thriving allotment growing fresh, healthy fruit and vegetables. We grow an amazing range of crops – from your usual carrots, onions and potatoes to the more exotic melons and Patty Pan squash – there is something for everyone to enjoy. In our polytunnel we grow lovely tasty tomatoes, cucumbers, chillis and aubergines as well as raising all our own plants from seed in the spring. You don’t need to be a gardening expert, sessions are free, and tools and guidance is provided.

Get Involved

Tutor-led sessions are held throughout the year. 

Thursdays 10am to 12pm.

Saturday 10am to 1pm from Spring through to Autumn.

Come along to a session at the allotment and learn all about growing! Children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.

Anyone can turn up and join in these sessions even if you are not a member. If you are a resident of Southcote you can become a member of the GrowAllot.
