The combination of Lyndsey telling us it reminded her of working on a boat and Mitch's poorly eye led to a pirate themed pun being the obvious title for the task. We originally scrubbed the decks with brushes and deck cleaner and then used the brooms to wash them off. We ran out of water butt and bottled water so Claire found another water source on the site although it smelt a bit grim once we got towards the bottom of it. In the end we decided that the rain forecast for tomorrow would finish the job. Helen was pleased with our progress and asked us to come back again to finish off.

Holgate Allotments Association
Working to improve our beautiful site for the benefit of plotholders, the local community and the environment.

With the help of Goodgym we have already created a lovely community orchard garden and reclaimed an overgrown allotment space to create starter beds for people new to allotmenting. We want to continue to improve Holgate Allotments to bring more of the plots back to life and make it easier for new gardeners to get growing.
