Comberton
Allotments and Gardens AssociationComberton
Allotments and Gardens AssociationThe Parish Council own some two
acres of land north of the houses on Foxes Way and the Association manages
these at a peppercorn rent. There are some 25 to 30 plots each of 6 pole which
are available for the village.
The purpose of the Association is to
foster interest in gardening in Comberton and this is achieved by holding an
Open Show, usually in the autumn, and a Plant Sale, usually in June. We also
sponsor a Best Kept Garden competition with a prize of a Silver Spoon presented
at the show.
In addition we sell gardening stones at a discounted rate
for our members operating from the Association shed in the playground of the
Playgroup at the crossroads.
Membership stands at £1.50 per year
(half of that for OAPs). Rent per plot is as low as £6.00 per year.
Contact the Secretary, Mike Winney.
We only manage the Parish Council
allotments off Long Road.
The allotments in South Street
are slightly larger (and the plots are 10 pole each) and are owned and managed
by the Loyal and Ancient Order of Shepherds, which has its HQ in Market Street,
Ely.
