Community Allotment Group
Would you like to join a community allotment group?
Hagg Lane Organic Allotments, Plots 2 and 3, Back Lane, Sheffield S10, are looking for new members.
If you enjoy gardening and growing organically or if you’re thinking of an allotment of your own and would like to try gardening on an allotment scale first, why not come and visit to see if you would like to join us.
Currently we meet on Tuesday and Friday mornings at around 10.00am.
We have two plots imaginatively named Plot 2 and Plot 3 and currently have 13 adult and several school age members.
Plot 2 is a large area gardened before us by Richard Clare. The plot benefited from Richard’s pioneering ideas regarding the use of organic growing. Sadly, Richard passed away in 2013. Subsequently the group was formed and with the support of the National Trust took over the plot though we are now entirely independent.
Plot 3 which came under our care in 2021 has soft fruit, a small orchard, grape vines, soft fruit, asparagus, a secure shed and water tank.
Consequently, we have some years of experience gardening and maintaining the soil health of our plots. We share our knowledge and skills and as a result have all become better gardeners.
Any surplus produce is donated to Foodbanks and Food serve. In recent years we have also welcomed school groups onto the site for environmental visits.
Membership is currently £50 per person per year. This covers rent, insurance & tools etc.
If this friendly cooperative sounds like something that you might be interested in joining, to arrange a visit to meet us, please contact:

Volunteers Week
Hagg Lane Allotments
Although The allotment holders at the Hagg Lane Allotments no longer hold large annual sales, their Society hut on Back Lane Crosspool, Sheffield, S10, UK (opposite Clough Fields) is brimming with locally grown plants.
These surplus young plants include tomatoes, brassicas, squash, courgettes, beans, and salad crops. What’s remarkable is that most of these plants have been cultivated without chemicals and are well-suited to the area’s conditions.
If you’re interested, you can visit their hut every Sunday morning from 9:30am to 12:30 pm to purchase these healthy plants and kickstart your own garden! 🌱🍅🥦🌽.

Carver Fields to Benefit Both Community and Church
The Sheffield Methodist Circuit’s commitment to Carver Fields is a testament to the power of community engagement and the positive impact of collective decision-making.
The Circuit Leadership Team’s decision to focus on sustainable development and utilization of the land for the benefit of both the community and the church is a forward-thinking approach that ensures the space remains a valuable asset for all.
The formation of a management group that includes community groups and circuit members is a significant step toward maintaining transparency and addressing any concerns.
This collaborative effort will not only preserve the space’s community value but also align it with the mission and values of the church.
The support for the Community Picnic by the Friends of Carver Fields further highlights the circuit’s dedication to fostering community spirit and engagement.
The gratitude expressed towards all involved parties underscores the importance of community input and the circuit’s openness to future collaboration. As the group forms and plans progress, the circuit’s volunteer-led efforts are a reminder of the strength found in unity and shared objectives.
