ASHGATE ALLOTMENT SOCIETY
ABOUT US
"Tucked away on the West side of Chesterfield lies the Ashgate Allotment Society gardens.
We are a little oasis hidden from view and enjoyed throughout the year by our members, their families and our many friends from the animal kingdom. Throughout the year we have many visitors ranging from hedgehogs to foxes and blue tits to badgers all sharing the natural beauty of our gardens.
We have been on this site for over 70 years and have 60 individual plots which all change their appearance throughout the seasons of the year as seeds are sown and crops are grown.
Our vision is very simply for all members to work together for the benefit of the whole Society and the wider community, to treat each other with mutual respect, recognise individual diversity, protect the Society for future generations of allotmenteers and ultimately have fun!"

KEEPING SAFE
Coronavirus /Covid -19
The current Covid-19 crisis has highlighted the importance of being extra vigilant when attending the allotment gardens. Specifically, it is essential that we practise effective hand protection and hand washing to reduce the risk of spreading the virus.

GROW YOUR OWN!
OCTOBER 2021 UPDATE
Reluctantly, we have decided to temporarily suspend new applications as our waiting list now equals the number of plots we have.
When the list reduces and becomes more manageable, we will start to accept new applicants again.
An allotment is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, as well as home grown fruit and vegetables.
Ashgate allotment provides a calm, friendly community environment.
Being outdoors also helps to boost your mood, self esteem and also improve health and wellbeing - so what's not to love?
If you would like to apply for a plot, please complete our application form.
