Wilberfoss Allotments

An allotment is a great way to grow your own fruit and vegetables, get some fresh air and meet other people who enjoy gardening.

Asking about a plot

If you would like to know whether a plot is available, or you want to be added to the waiting list, please contact the Parish Clerk. You can email [email protected] or use our contact page.

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

• Your name and your address in the village
• How best to reach you
• Whether you would like a full plot or a smaller one, if that is an option

Looking after a plot

Plot holders are asked to keep their plots in good order, be considerate to neighbouring growers and follow the tenancy rules. The Parish Clerk can explain the details when a plot becomes available.

Waiting lists

Availability changes from time to time, and we cannot promise a plot straight away. Putting your name down early is the best way to be considered when one comes up.

Allotment tips for beginners

• Start small, as a full plot is a lot of work in the first year
• Choose crops that suit our East Yorkshire climate, such as potatoes, onions, beans and brassicas
• Ask neighbouring plot holders for advice, as most are happy to share

Allotments are good for wildlife as well as for people, so consider leaving a corner for bees and other pollinators.
