We will be having a seed, plant and tool swap on Saturday 8th March 2025 from 11am until 1pm at the Downend Site

If you would like to join us, please could you bring your seeds, plants and tools for swapping at approximately 10.30am on the 8th of March so we can get everything set up. Please could you also bring some old envelopes and a pen to collect any seeds that you would like.

There will be hot drinks home-made cake and biscuits available on the day. If you do not have any items you would like to swap, please still come along and join us for a cuppa.

Our sites

There are two sites run by Staple Hill and District Allotments Limited.

Dial Lane Allotments: A large 10 acre site near the centre of Downend, South Gloucestershire and a smaller site off Morley Road in Soundwell which has 32 plots.

If you are interested in an allotment and would like to be added to the waiting list fill out the form.

With the rising cost of food and worries about food mileage, and the proven mental health benefits of being outside, an allotment can be a perfect community to join.

Waiting lists are now open again
