Welcome

Welcome to the New Mills Allotment & Gardening Society

 We’re lucky! We have two allotment sites being worked in New Mills. Please see our photograph gallery and magazine section for more information.

The Society supports members in pursuit of their gardening activities fostering an awareness of the benefits of growing and eating fresh vegetables. Membership is open to any local resident who is interested in gardening, even if they do not wish to rent an allotment.

Our sites are off Ollersett Avenue and in a former paddock in Hague Bar.  The Ollersett Avenue site was set up in 2005 and has 31 plots. The Hague Bar site was set up in 2010 and has 23 plots.

We have a waiting list for both sites, but if you wish to be added to the list please contact the society.

New Mills Festival Promotion 2013

Promotion at New Mills Festival

Sunday 29th September 2013

As part of this year’s New Mills Festival the Art Centre on Spring Bank is hosting an Artisan Food Fair on Sunday 29th September. They are aiming to promote locally grown and made food. I have said I will take a table on behalf of the Allotment Society to encourage people to grow their own food by showing what can be achieved in New Mills. I would welcome any offers of help on the stall or of spare veg to display!

Thanks Toby Hardwick
