Holgate Allotments Association
With the help of Goodgym we have already created a lovely community orchard garden and reclaimed an overgrown allotment space to create starter beds for people new to allotmenting. We want to continue to improve Holgate Allotments to bring more of the plots back to life and make it easier for new gardeners to get growing.

Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.

Helen at Holgate Allotments has asked us for some help scrubbing the decking around the storage shed, where they hold coffee mornings. Please meet at the allotment community storage building on the left part way down Ashton Lane. Scrubbing brushes, cleaning solution and buckets will be provided, but don't forget to bring some gloves (preferably washing up gloves) and a kneeler if you have one!


How are you getting there?
