Allotments

There are a few plots available on allotment sites managed on behalf of Ripley Town Council by the individual allotment societies. Any keen enthusiastic gardeners who wish to have the satisfaction of growing their own crops should act now.

Each site has its own society who exchange gardening tips and organise bulk purchases of seeds and plants.

Plots are available on all sites so get in touch with the contact person given below as soon as possible. There are a number of plots ready cultivated and available. Uncultivated plots are rent free for the first year to allow preparation for growing crops.
