Tag: Hagg Lane & District Gardeners’ Allotments Society

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:
