Welcome to Allotment Growing for allotment holders, growers and gardeners.

Over the last 8 years we've grown to be the most popular site on allotments and grow your own in the UK! Our aim is simply to provide news, information, advice and help for those growing their own vegetables, fruit and herbs whether in the garden, on the allotment or even in a window box along with general gardening advice.

Growing your own is a great hobby. It's cheap, you get healthy exercise without having to pay for a gym or run around in circles and you get to eat healthy fruit and vegetables without all those not so yummy pesticides.

As well as 'grow your own' advice our recipe section has expanded over the years and now we cover storing your home grown produce, making your own jams and preserves and even making the bread and butter to spread it upon.

In our chat forums thousands of gardeners and cooks get together to offer help and advice with problems as well as just chatting on the plot.

We’ve teamed up with some reputable suppliers known for their excellent quality and service in our shop section to offer a huge range of gardening and cooking products. You can just browse for interest – it’s fascinating what’s available or click on the product links to actually buy or read more about them.

We realised from the forums that there are a lot of new growers looking for basic help & advice so we wrote our books. Amazingly these are now best sellers! You'll find these listed in our shop section.
