Couldn’t rate Roots more highly, Catherine at Newbottle Fields and Kam have gone above and beyond in being helpful and finding the right plot for me and are always so cheerful. The site is beautiful with community and no dig at the heart, with a fantastic range of tools, compost, seeds and plug plants and manure all free to use. Couldn’t recommend more highly
I’ve absolutely loved my time with Roots and am only stepping away due to a move. I cannot recommend this highly enough for anyone wanting to explore growing, but without the commitment or waiting list of a council allotment. Dave, the site manager at Stourbridge, is one of the most passionate and enthusiastic individuals I’ve ever met. Always a friendly face and willing to help those in need.

So long Sugar Loafers... I am leaving Roots to head off to pastures new after being a member for two years. But I can't go without saying a MASSIVE thank you and farewell to our wonderful site manager at Sugar Loaf Fields, Dave Cox. He is so pleasant, motivating, helpful and accommodating and is truly the HEART of the thriving growing community in Stourbridge. You are a great bloke Coxy - and in the perfect job! Roots are lucky to have you! Wishing you all the best for the future and plenty of joyful harvests for everyone. Jane Thomas

We had a viewing booked for the Daffodil allotments in Chester today. We travelled with our children who want to start growing their own fruit and veg. We arrived a little bit early and nobody turned up. We tried to contact anyone from the website and got no replies. We also got stuck trying to leave the site as the grounds were so unkept and muddy. The car was completely stuck and a van which attended the grounds just ignored us and drive past. The fact nobody came to meet us or let us know the appointment was cancelled is a poor first impression. The site looked nothing like the pictures online and actually looked more of a waste ground than an allotment.

I’m now in my second year with Roots Allotments and couldn’t recommend them more highly. The site is incredibly well maintained, and I really appreciate the 25% weed rule – it encourages everyone to take pride in their plots and makes such a difference compared to other allotments I’ve seen.The team are always helpful, and there are so many great resources available online if you want to learn more about growing. I started with zero experience, and now my friends and family think I’m an expert (I’m definitely not!), but that just shows how accessible and supportive it is.It’s such an easy, enjoyable setup – you can just turn up and have everything you need ready for you. Absolutely brilliant.
Tuckers Meadow/Newton St.Loe..Roots is the best thing since sliced bread..I love my plots..everything is provided from tool shed, manure, compost, seeds, plug plants, portable toilet and Willem, our land manager is top notch, very knowledgeable, kind, helpful and efficient..plot holders are friendly and helpful.I can take my little dog up there on the lead..we have talks and a tipi..yoga, an orchard, a big polytunnel and it's on a good bus route..love it..
I had seen rootsallotment advertised on social media repeatedly and read many people comment that it was too expensive, this put me off and so it took me a while before I finally decided to take the plunge and give it a go as it's not practical for me to grow at home due to my pets "trying to help". And I've no regrets. For your membership not only do you get a plot thats ready to go, seeds to start you off, annual compost top up and all the practical things needed to start growing, but most of all you get an amazing site manager in Loz. From the very first introduction meeting he makes you feel extremely welcome and at ease with his kind, relaxed, funny, and friendly manner. Not only is he helpful and informative where growing and maintaining your plot is concerned, he works very hard keeping everything onsite in check and making improvements. He creates a lovely community atmosphere which makes it a complete pleasure to join in and bring other family members along to events he organises. I always leave the site with a smile even if the weather isn't always as happy. Thank you Loz for all your time and effort, it is very very much appreciated
