Botley Meadow allotments (1.5 ha or 4 acres) have been worked for over a century. Today, members represent several nationalities, meaning there is a vast amount of expertise in traditional growing methods from here in the UK and other cultures. So, if you are unsure where to start – ask your neighbour!

There are around 60 plots of varying size and the site is bounded to the north by the Botley Stream.  We have a solar-powered water pump supplying water troughs around the site that members can use for watering.

There is a communal shed with second-hand tools that members can borrow for short periods as long as they are returned in good condition.

Botley Meadow usually organises early and late summer barbecues to which all members are invited – these are ‘bring & share’ events.

We have put together a few pointers designed to help you manage your plot which can be found here.
