Allotment gardening provides a wide range of benefits to communities and the environment.
Apart from providing low cost food, they also provide valuable recreational opportunities involving healthy activity and social contacts. Allotments are significant to the Boroughs green spaces and provide habitats for many forms of wildlife.
Allotments have evolved through a rich and varied history of social and economic change, the most notable being the 2nd World War where the public were encouraged to ‘Grow their own Greens’ and ‘Dig for Britain’. The first legislative reforms date back to the Enclosures Act of 1845.
Today, the Council has a statutory requirement to provide allotments for the public.
There is currently a waiting list for all of the above sites. For application details for plots on any of the sites, in the first instance please contact Allotments Administration using the contact details at the bottom of this page.
The Borough's largest Horticultural Show and Classic car & Motorbike Show takes pride of place at the annual Gedling Borough Show held over the first weekend in September at the Richard Herrod Playing Fields, Foxhill Road, Carlton, Nottingham.
The Horticultural Show is open to any resident in the Borough and has over 100 classes to enter for all levels and ages. For more information please follow this link to the Gedling Borough Show page.
