Allotments on the Village Green
Well, despite all the rain, our intrepid allotmenteers have started to craft their plots.
Not all of us yet, but planting work has started in preparation for some warmer weather. Yes, there is a sun up there somewhere! As we move into April, we will see a lot more activity and the installation of a communal shed and water tank. Lots to do and looking forward to sharing our plans as we approach the growing season in earnest. Many thanks to all involved and for the great support from keen and experienced growers!
On a more serious point (and there won't be many of these I hope), this is PC land and now let to the Shapwick Allotment Association. It is now in cultivation and under the management of the Association. So, we will be repairing the hedge, upgrading the access and re-installing the gate and fencing. If you want to come in for a chat, that would be lovely, but please No Dogs. We have had several instances of dog fouling on the land since we started, so we would be grateful if you can now exercise your dogs elsewhere. Many thanks!
Simon Dawes,
Chairman, Shapwick Allotment Association (SAA)
