Love my plot at Roots Allotments

Love my plot at Roots Allotments, great idea and represebts good value for money. Love the fact that it is no dig and organic. Great to have tools and water on site. Plus free compost, seeds and seedlings. Site manager Catherine is regularly about and able to give help and support. Brilliant place to meet like minded people. It may be more expensive than a council allotment but it is free from people burning rubbish, glass, carpets,and old upvc etc.

I highly recommend Roots and my…

I highly recommend Roots and my experience so far has been nothing but positive! I’m a beginner and this is certainly less daunting than starting from scratch. You receive expert advice on site from the patch manager and much needed moral support! All the tools you need are on site and you don’t even have to buy anything to give it a go. Roots provide a bumper pack of seeds and plug plants for you to get started. Water is included too. I cannot even apply to my council for an allotment as the waiting list is closed and has been for some time. Fantastic location for me too. I am recommending to all my friends who have shown interest too.

ROOTS has been great for me

ROOTS has been great for me, it has helped my mental heath a lot, being able to get back to gardening & being surrounded by such an amazing community. The site manager & the organisation heads are always on hand to help.

I have been with Roots for 18 months

I have been with Roots for 18 months. I have a mini plot. I have loved the experience. The site is a huge open space and I am lucky enough to be able to visit on weekdays . I often have the entire space to myself with skylarks singing above me. The support is fabulous from people’s knowledge to tools, water and compost on site. A great collection of seeds and plug plants are included in the price. I think it is a superb initiative as I had been waiting 14 years for a council allotment. I am now growing and considering expanding. Thank you to all at Roots.

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!

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
