Applying for an allotment
All plots are currently taken and there is a waiting list for new tenants.
Before applying, it is important to think about how you would realistically fit an allotment into your routine. Allotments need regular visits. It is recommended to visit at least twice a week to keep on top of the weeding and in hot weather, you might need to water your crops every day. We recommend that a half plot in good condition will require at least eight hours per week to maintain and could require more depending on what you grow.
Please note we only offer half plots to new tenants which are approximately 128 square metres.
Only residents who live in Cheshire West and Chester can apply for an allotment
