The Association’s Objectives are:
♦ To promote the establishment and use of land in the Bath & North East Somerset area as allotments and to conduct negotiations with the local authority and private landowners to that end
♦ To promote the gardening interests of members and take action to protect members against damage, nuisance, trespass and theft
♦ To obtain a supply of seeds, fertilisers, goods and other horticultural equipment and sundries on behalf of members at as competitive a price as possible
♦ To encourage members to garden in whatever way they choose so long as they do not disrupt other plot holders on their site
♦ To co-operate with other gardening associations in matters of mutual interest
♦ To promote the health and activity benefits of allotment gardening
♦ To promote knowledge of wildlife and to enhance appropriate biodiversity.
Benefits of membership include:
♦ a newsletter three times a year
♦ discounted gardening products at Prior Park Garden Centre and at Gardenalia
♦ affiliation to to the South West Counties Allotments Association (which includes public liability insurance).
♦ membership-only discount seed and potato catalogues (organised via the Trading Hut)
♦ an annual produce show.
Members are welcome to attend our committee meetings, and are encouraged to attend the AGM, usually held in October.
