Open Day took place on Saturday 19th July, & we very much enjoyed welcoming so many people to look around our beautiful site, & have the opportunity to sample some of our surplus produce. We now have 3 more people on our waiting list! 

Thank you to everyone who came along to our stand at the Village Fete - we hope that you enjoy your plants ! Apologies for the absence of our Fruit & Veg game --the weather conditions just made it impossible --maybe next year ??!!

 Many Thanks to everyone who came along to Gordon Darby's recent "Gardening Year" talk, followed by an open forum -- we all learnt a lot, & benifitted from Gordon's many years of experience ! Gordon has kindly prepared an information pack containing a the very valuable  information from his talk  --- if you would like to receive one of these, please use the "contact us" button on this web site


We were awarded a "Highly Commended" certificate in the Sevenoaks Gardening For Wildlife Scheme last year , in recognition of our efforts to attract , support & conserve wildlife on our site. Have you seen our Nature Area Survey? just click on the button on the left, to view the amazing variety of wildlife on our site.


  - A less welcome species was spotted by one of our members --a Harlequin Ladybird. Whilst these are very good at consuming aphids, they pose a threat to our native species - for more information, visit www.harlequin-survey.or

 - Just a little reminder to those of you who walk through with dogs - PLEASE KEEP THEM ON A LEAD , & if they do forget their manners whilst they are on site , there is a poo bin just by the gate to the recreation ground --Thank You !

 - The "Hospices of Hope" shop in the High Street have been very grateful for our members donations of surplus allotment produce for use in their excellent Cafe -- how about that for a reduction in "food miles"?!
