Allotment Associations

Introduction

There are many gardening societies, community gardening organisations and allotment associations in Bristol. Some operate on just one site while others operate at several sites, organising flower shows and other gardening events.

There are six land leasing organisations in the city who may have plots to let and a number of other organisations who provide information and advice about allotment gardening and related matters.

We recommend you join your local association or the National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners
