Elstree & Borehamwood Town Council

Allotments

Information

20180621 122810 Elstree and Borehamwood Town Council manages three allotment sites:

Melrose Avenue, Borehamwood
Allum Lane, Elstree
Stapleton Road, Borehamwood

The reason for an allotment plot is growing fruit and vegetables, flowers and herbs for the plotholder and his or her family. Plot holders said in a recent survey that their love of allotment gardening stems from the fresh air and exercise they enjoy the opportunity to meet and learn from like-minded people in a relaxed, natural environment.

They said that food they grow tastes better and is cheaper, fresher and healthier than that bought at the supermarket.

From time to time we have a small number of vacancies on our sites.

Due to significant recent demand, the waiting list for a plot is currently expected to be at least 2 years.

The 2023/24 rate for new plotholders is:

Melrose Avenue - £6/pole
Allum Lane - £6/pole
Stapleton Gardens - £27.50/plot

There is a 50% concession for Elstree & Borehamwood residents aged 65 or over.
