Onions, Garlic and Shallots are now available in the shop - ready to plant now !!
We’ve had a few exciting deliveries to the large site recently:
Conker Gin kindly dropped off 3 large bags of coffee grounds—great for composting.
4 empty compost bins were dropped off. If you know who brought them, do let us know!
a generous load of wood chippings arrived—perfect for paths and mulching.
Feel free to make use of these resources, and please share considerately with fellow plot holders.
Pub Quiz Cancellation Unfortunately, the pub quiz planned for this Friday has been cancelled due to low sign-up numbers. We didn’t have enough participants to form viable teams. However, we’re open to running another quiz in the future if there’s enough interest. You do not need to have a complete team to join in as we can makeup teams on the night—so let us know if you'd be keen to take up the site manager’s challenge!
Coming Up: Pond Talk – 5th October Join us in the Big Green Shed for a fascinating talk on Ponds, by Mitch from Dorset Wildlife Trust. Even with just a very tiny pond, you’ll learn how to make the most of it to enhance wildlife and benefit your plot. Lots of practical tips and inspiration!
Thank you to all who attended and helped at our open morning !
Our thanks to the following organisations for their generous donations of prizes for our raffle :
Providing vibrant, affordable and accessible allotments for the community
Bournemouth East Allotment Society Limited (BEAS) is a self-managed allotment site located in Southbourne, Bournemouth. As a self-managed site and a not for profit organisation, the allotments depend on their volunteer Management Committee and supporters.

On this website, you will find all the information you need about becoming a member or, if you are already an Associate Member or a Plotholder, about your Membership, the Shop, Helpful Guides and Growing Tips, Social Events and links to our Newsletter and other useful information.
