There will be a chance to visit one of the allotments managed by the Roehampton Garden Society when it holds its summer show.
The public is invited to view exhibits of vegetables, fruits, flowers and plants from the plots next door to 18 The Pleasance (SW15 5HF).
The event, which is enabled by the National Garden Scheme, is taking place on Saturday 21 June from 2pm to 5pm and entry costs £4.
Teas and homemade cakes for sale as well as plants grown by plot holders which will be auctioned at 4:15pm. Bring along your own bags if you are planning to make purchases.
Roehampton Garden Society (RGS) was founded in 1854, and it currently manages two allotment sites in Roehampton on behalf of Wandsworth Borough Council. Individual allotments are leased to members, who pay an annual rent.
It aims to encourage productive cultivation of the land, whilst caring for the environment and encouraging wildlife and bees.

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism. Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site. |
