Welcome to Barrowby Gardeners' Association

Barrowby Gardeners' Association are a friendly allotment community and we welcome new plot holders, Associate Members, and local residents to our Saturday shop and social events that we run throughout the year. We also run a Best Kept Allotment competition, have BBQs and family events, and have an Annual Dinner for members. 

Our plots are at the Barrowby allotments on The Drift Barrowby. The site is owned by Barrowby Parish Council and run by the Barrowby Gardeners' Association.

Our members grow a wide variety of fruit and vegetable produce for their own use,  and if we have excess we ask for donations at our allotment shop on a Saturday morning between 10-12.

The allotments are run by a dedicated committee of plot holders on behalf of Barrowby Parish Council.  Details of the committee are listed at the bottom of this page.

NEXT EVENT:   Sunday 29th June 12-3pm on Barrowby Allotments: Annual BBQ and Celebratory 50th Anniversary of the BGA.  

The Belvoir Wassailers Male Voice Choir will be providing the entertainment for this event. There will be drinks, burgers, sausages and desserts for a suggested donation.

We currently have a waiting list and priority is given to residents of Barrowby Parish, existing plot holders and, if plots are still available, then we may offer to those on the waiting list outside of Barrowby Parish.

We initially rent out half plots for an annual fee. Application forms are on the tab marked 'Apply' at the top of this page.

This includes plot rental, membership of the Barrowby Gardeners Association and of the National Allotment Society, public liability insurance and water. 

We welcome people who are new to vegetable gardening and offer advice, tips and spare plants.
