Report written by Vicky Hearson (she/her)

Share the love

on our first head torchless run of the year, we headed to Holgate Allotments.

We were met by Paul and tasked with breaking up an already flattened shed and carrying it to where it will be collected.

By using a range of techniques, including sawing and jumping, half the group completed the task, whilst the other half cut back brambles.

By the end the plot was in slightly better shape so hopefully it can now be let.

We then finished with a game of peg pinching with the prize of re usable cable ties. The enthusiasm for both the game and the ties varied but overall another good group run out.

Shout out to Jenna for the delicious baking back at base too!

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.
