Had a patch in Croydon for 6 months now and couldn’t be happier! They make it so easy for an allotment novice by providing all the tools/water and some seeds/plug plants. I know there are some complaints it’s more expensive than a council allotment but it think for what they offer it’s great money for value. It’s always an amazing vibe there and just wish I had done it sooner!
Love the whole concept of Roots. Learning how to grow no dig, organic gardening in a community space. Great for experienced growers and beginners. Well worth it just for the seeds and tools they provide. Friendly helpful advice from Katherine our site manager at Newbottle fields always happy to help. Highly recommend roots.
I've been a member for almost a year and a half and I would recommend this place. Reasons; it gives you peace of mind, satisfaction, people on the allotment are friendly. The group chat is so useful with ideas, support and sharing experiences. I love coming here as a teacher it's my therapy. Two other members of my family are also here for the same reason.
I absolutely love my Roots allotment! The grow patches are ideal for someone like me - no heavy digging/lifting/construction to do. Equipment is supplied and the support is excellent. Our patch manager Catherine is always on hand to offer advice and answer my endless questions. A good selection of seeds and plug plants are supplied as part of the membership. Very happy!
Nottingham Ruddington is a great community. Generous seeds are provided every year along with all the tools. Share shelves and a bee bank in the process. Its great to be apart of a no chemical and dig site so all our veg is organic 😊

We got a plot last year so we can get our toddler involved in something outdoors and we all love it now. Roots genuinely cares about their members, as well as the surrounding environment and wildlife. Yes it’s a monthly fee, but the amount included for that monthly fee is astronomical. Seeds, plug plants, never ending courses and support to give you the best start, shared tools available for all, and the loveliest community to hand at all times. Couldn’t recommend enough.
I’ve had such a positive experience with Roots Allotments and it’s genuinely made a difference to my wellbeing. Spending time there has had such a calming and restorative effect on my mental health — it’s become a space where I can switch off from the pressures of everyday life and reconnect with something simple and grounding.There’s something incredibly rewarding about watching everything grow and evolve with the seasons. Every visit feels different, and seeing the progress from tiny seeds to thriving plants brings a real sense of achievement and joy.What makes it even more special is the sense of community. It’s not just about growing food — it’s about being part of something shared. People are supportive, friendly, and welcoming, and it really feels like everyone looks out for each other.I also really appreciate how the team genuinely listens to our voices and feedback. It makes you feel valued and part of shaping the space, not just using it. That sense of being heard adds so much to the overall experience.Overall, it’s become much more than an allotment to me — it’s a place of wellbeing, connection, and calm.

I took on a small plot at Roots Allotment in Houghton-le-Spring as a means to growing my own vegetables. I had never done it before so it was with a little trepidation - however, Catherine, the site manager, was on hand and she calmed my nerves and explained that many other plot holders were in the same boat, being beginners.Having confirmed my membership I was give a goody bag including: - seeds, a trowel and a guide.I weeded my 'No Dig' plot and enjoyed the fact I was outside in the fresh air.At the time of joining the site had numerous plug plants available for members, this enabled me to get planting without having to wait for seeds to germinate.Move forward a couple of months I was able to use some of the crops like lettuce, kohlrabi etc, it gave me the encouragement to grow different vegetables to try. I am almost a year in, and into the new growing season and I am looking forward to planting out seedlings that I have grown from seeds that were supplied by Roots.I have had some great discussions with other members and I know new friends too. I am looking forward to the socials that are in the pipeline and to more learning to be more self sufficient.The experience has given space not only to grow crops but also a safe space for my mind to breath.
