Allotments

Renting an allotment is a great way to grow your own fresh produce, reduce food costs, and enjoy time outdoors reconnecting with nature. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a complete beginner, allotments offer space to experiment with different crops, develop new gardening skills, and join a community of like-minded growers.

The Town Council manages three allotment sites situated in different parts of Elstree & Borehamwood: Melrose Gardens, Allum Lane, and New Stapleton which will be open to new tenants very soon.

When a vacancy arises on one of our three allotment sites, it will be offered to the next person on the waiting list.
