We are a not-for profit shop run by volunteers to sell horticultural supplies to plot-holders.
We run the shop on site so that during opening hours at weekends, allotmenteers on the site can buy plant foods, sacks of manure and growing medium, bean poles, seeds, onion sets etc. Most of our plot-holders (including us) do not have a car. Selling these supplies on site at very little above cost price helps the allotmenteers to grow food, and the hut is also a place where people exchange information, ideas and advice. Our bulk deliveries arrive two or three times a year, always early on a Wednesday morning, The younger plot-holders, whom we might be able to rope in,are mostly at work on a weekday morning. We older shop volunteers are finding it increasingly difficult to handle quantities of bulky and heavy sacks off the lorry and into our storage shed. If you could help us, I would aim for a next delivery in April. No equipment is needed, just more muscle and energy than some of us have these days !19 GoodGymers have supported Moulsecoomb Estate Allotment site shop with 3 tasks.
