I’ve had such a positive experience…

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.

So worth it!

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.

Organic veggies for all, newbie or experienced!

It's been an amazing couple of years that we've had our allotment patch with Roots at Meadow Hill.Before we thought we couldn't grow anything, and now we happily harvest and eat our own delicious organic produce.Roots provided us with many seeds and plug plants, compost, woodchip, manure and expertise. If you are a complete novice or an experienced gardener, I'm sure you'll love growing your own food with the Roots community

We have been growing with roots for two…

We have been growing with roots for two years at the Meadow Hill Croydon allotment. Considering my husband and I had never gardened before - this has been absolutely amazing. The support and community is so strong and roots provides everything you need to grow. It’s so fulfilling to grow your own and Roots makes that possible.

I love my allotment patch at Roots

I love my allotment patch at Roots. I have ADHD so need time when out of work and out of the house to be in a peaceful environment. I spend hours on a saturday ay the allotment. I feel safe here, the community is lovely. Dave The patch manager is a great support as I have no idea what I am doing. For such a small cost the rewards in the mind and also in produce is huge for me. Of course improvements have been suggested for this new plot in Chester, but no concerns from me. It's been life changing and I look forward to my time on the allotment that I call my own!
