Churchfield Allotments – Weybridge Allotment Holders’ and Gardeners’ Association
Gardening at Churchfields Allotments Weybridge
A well kept secret in the middle of Weybridge is the Churchfield Allotments.
Nestling just behind St. James’ Church is nine and a half acres of organically cultivated land bound by Molyneux Road, Melrose Road, Curzon Road and Churchfields recreation ground.
Anyone, of any age, who is resident in the local area is entitled to take up a plot. There are no restrictions on applying for one – apart from a commitment to cultivate it – and no previous gardening experience is necessary.
Just some of the benefits of cultivating an allotment are:
· fresh, organic vegetables and flowers
· healthy exercise coupled with fresh air, peace and tranquillity
· low cost seeds and gardening supplies from our Trading Hut
· personal satisfaction in seeing the fruits of your labour
· the chance to meet a group of the friendliest people you can imagine.
You never know, you might even be the proud winner of our annual competition, awarded to those who cultivate and produce the widest range of fruit and vegetables on their plot of land, or to those whose plots show the most promise after less than a year of cultivation.
If you feel tempted to have a go, or would like to find out more, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact us by email or visit our Trading Hut at the main entrance to the allotments on Curzon Road. We’re open from 10am-12pm every weekend.
The Allotment Shop
The trading hut by the main gate and car park is open from 10am – noon every Saturday and Sunday morning. Come and visit us to purchase all of your gardening supplies at much cheaper prices than local garden centres, including seed and potting compost for just £4.50, which is perfect for bringing on seedlings. We also have 8 foot canes, ideal for the construction of bean supports and sweetcorn compounds.
You can also buy second hand tools and bring your spare seedlings for others to grow.
Children’s (under 10’s) Sunflower Competition
Weybridge In Bloom & Weybridge Allotment Holders’ and Gardeners’ Association have joined to organise a competition to grow the tallest sunflower in Weybridge!
Children were invited to participate in this new competition in May and collected seeds from the allotment shop and at the Meadow planting event.
The competition was won by 2 children who are friends at St James’ school. The height of their giant sunflowers were too close to separate, so they were declared joint winners!
For more information and to see photos of the prize winning sunflowers, please see the results page.
