Love roots! Never grown anything before and over the last year have been so grateful to learn in the most supportive community with lots of tools and materials provided. Our patch manager Will at Bowshaw Views is lovely and always happy to help. There are also regular events which is a real bonus!
Have been a member at Roots allotments Leigh Woods Meadows since it opened a year and a bit ago. I absolutely love my plot and the Roots set up and ethos. It makes it possible for groups of people otherwise excluded, by circumstances, from growing their own food: flat dwellers with little to no outside space and limited indoor space to store tools as well as for example folks needing to rely on cycle or public transport to get around - hoes and rakes not a great safety feature on two wheels ;)It's great to be supplied with all you need to grow from tools down to the seeds and plug plants.The growing guides on the Roots platform are a great help tooBut perhaps even more valuable than all the above is the lovely feel of the place: the glorious burst of plants and wildlife that meets you on arrival and the warm and friendly folks with whom you who share the place. ❤️

I have had my allotment patch for nearly 2 years. It’s been such a great experience. I’ve grown so much produce of a wide variety. The community is amazing, and I enjoy low-key gatherings, and a regular chat and cup of tea with friends I’ve made there. The cost is £19.99 a month which isn’t expensive for the benefit to both my physical and mental wellbeing, and all the produce I’ve grown. It has been good to have equipment and a water supply available. The workshops have been interesting and informative. Highly recommend!
I've been a member of Bowshaw Dronfield since September 2024. I've learnt so much and continue to do so through all the online videos etc included in the reasonable monthly fee. Lots of different workshops, yoga , seeds, plug plants, lovely community and good vibes. If your wanting to learn and grow your own veg / flowers i'd recommend.
They could do with getting on top of the up keep much better. Paths aren’t cut often enough, weeds spread and get onto plots a lot and my plot has a ridiculous amount of deep rooted dandelions which take forever to remove properly. Not sure if the seeds were dormant around the plots or what but I’ve never seen so many weeds come up on land before. When people ask for the grounds to be better maintained, Roots often say plot holders are welcome to do it ourselves but the point is we pay a LOT more than most council sites/other allotment sites which I’d expect to go towards making the site useable and pleasant. Took a very long time for them to get on top of a major rodent problem too and people left because of this. You don’t want to grow food to eat where rodents are urinating. On the upside it’s a lovely community with people very willing to help each other out which is lovely and they do things like arrange for extra fruit and veg to go to community projects like lunches for the elderly or vulnerable. Lots of events too if you’re interested in those.
