Allotments and Leisure Gardens »

 

Welcome to Roper Avenue Allotments web site.

 

 

 

Spring is well and truly here!

 

The allotment is a buzz with activity and it's not just the bees. Greenhouses are being stocked and beds made ready for sowing and planting. Sheds are being spruced up after the winter has taken its toll and of course; the tea is flowing.

It's a busy time for all gardeners but you should always remember to pace yourself. As one of our most knowledgeable founder members often says regarding work that needs to be done ... "always leave some for tomorrow". Wise words (I'm sure our backs would agree).
