For many years, Trevor Taylor, the Society's Honorary President, produced a regular allotment newsletter called Weeder’s Digest, which usually included growing tips, general allotment news and recipes. Here is our equivalent.
This page is an at-a-glance view of what is new, what is happening and, hopefully, what is interesting in the worlds of allotmenteering and of the Society. If there is anything you think we should be talking about, or anything you would like to contribute, let us know.
Follow the links on this page to keep up to date with what is going, look at our photo albums, get growing and cooking ideas, check out the store, and much more.
Let us know what you think about the site and any suggestions you have about content. Better still, send us an article or some photos.
