With the recent rise in popularity in allotments and home grown produce, our waiting list is steadily getting longer. Though we do not wish to evict current plot holders, we are actively looking for plots where there is no activity, so please make the effort if you wish to continue with your plot.

If however you are having problems in maintaining a tidy plot, for whatever reason, please get in contact with a committe member, as there may be ways in which we can help.

Vice Chairman

Come along to Longbarrow Allotments in Throop Road Bournemouth  and sign up as an associate member.

It cost’s nothing to join and you have the benefit of purchasing goods from our shop. So pop in any Sunday between 10.00 and 12.00.  Many of the items we sell are competitively priced, many cheaper than garden centres and local DIY stores.

The programme is about one of the presenters, Joe Swift, taking on an overgrown allotment in North London and will follow the early stages of bringing the plot into production.

On 28th January our chairman was invited, as a result of winning the allotment of the year competition, to go along to a days filming and lend a hand. Joe is a garden designer and co presenter of Gardeners World but knows very little about vegetable growing and needed advice.

The plot is not in good condition, it is thick with couch grass and mares tail and to make matters worse the soil is heavy clay. During the summer Gardeners World will visit Joes plot regularly to check on progress.

The programme will, all being well, visit our site during the season when we will have an opportunity to make Joe jealous when he sees what an attractive and productive allotment site looks like.

When we know any firm dates we, of course, will let you know.
