Allotment management

Warwick District Council does not directly manage allotments. Many local allotments are managed by the tenants themselves and administered by the town or parish council concerned. There are some exceptions to this type of administration – for example, St Johns Allotments, Kenilworth are owned by the tenants; St Marys are owned by the church and administered by a trust, and there are several other variations.

An allotment is good for you

It gives you fresh air, healthy exercise, a piece of land to call your own – as long as you look after it and pay the rent – and good fresh fruit and vegetables at the end of it. And it’s good for the environment, too.

Is it expensive?

The most expensive allotments are no more than £30 a year for a big plot. That’s less than 60p a week – great value for money. Growing costs little, and many allotments organise a bulk buy of reasonably-priced seeds.

What can you grow?

These are just some of the vegetables, fruits and herbs you could grow: blackcurrants, broad beans, French beans, runner beans, beetroot, broccoli, cabbages, carrots, chard, coriander, courgettes, cauliflowers, chicory, corn salad, endive, kale, leeks, lettuces, marjoram, mint, onions, parsnips, parsley, pak choi, potatoes, peas, pumpkins, radishes, raspberries, redcurrants, rocket, rosemary, sage, spinach, spring onions, strawberries, swedes, sweetcorn, squashes, thyme, turnips, ……and more.
