Discover
The World Of Allotment Gardening
We
are a community enterprise run by a group of volunteers helping its
members and making allotment gardening available to the citizens of
Newton Abbot and district.
The
Association was founded in 1919 on a plot of land rented from Lord
Courtenay. Today we have five fields, namely; Blake's, Bradley, Coach
Road, Cooke's and Decoy.
Newton
Abbot Town Council is our Statutory Authority, and we have
a close and happy relationship working in association with
them as our landlord.
