First Ever Open Day at Dover House Road Allotments | ||||
Roehampton Garden Society is inviting the public to visit
July 17, 2024 This weekend the Roehampton Garden Society will be opening their allotments on Dover House Road to the public for the first time. On Sunday 21 July, from 2 to 5pm, there will be a chance to view the plots as part of the National Open Gardens Scheme. The site holds about 250 allotments of differing sizes, growing a huge range of vegetables and flowers and encouraging wildlife. You are encouraged to bring the family to see how food is grown and enjoy walking in this special green space, originally reserved for allotments in the design of the Dover House Estate, which was built on garden city principles of green space for every family. Plotholders will be there to welcome visitors and explain what is growing. Entry costs £4 with children allowed in for free and proceeds will go to charity. There will be tea, cake and plants for sale. The Roehampton Garden Society celebrated its centenary last year and welcomes all in SW15 who enjoy growing. Roehampton Garden Society Allotments are at 162 Dover House Road, Putney, SW15 5AR.
