About us

The Woolston and District Allotment Association has a history dating back to its founding in the early 20th century. Established to promote and support local gardening enthusiasts, the association has grown and evolved over the decades. Initially, it provided a platform for sharing knowledge and resources among allotment holders in the Woolston area, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

Throughout the years, the association has expanded its services and offerings, including the introduction of an allotment shop that supplies members with essential gardening products at discounted rates. This initiative has been a cornerstone of the association's efforts to make gardening accessible and affordable for all its members.

The association has also played a significant role in advocating for the preservation and development of the allotment site working with the council and site reps, ensuring that green spaces are protected and allotments available for future generations. By organising events, workshops, and social gatherings, the Woolston and District Allotment Association has continued to nurture a strong, connected community of gardeners who share a passion for cultivating their own produce and maintaining sustainable practices.

Today, the association remains committed to its founding principles, adapting to modern gardening trends while honouring its historical roots. It continues to provide invaluable support to its members, fostering a love for gardening and a sense of community that has been the hallmark of the Woolston and District Allotment Association for over a century
