Grow your own tasty vegetables, fruit and colourful flowers in Harley
Crisp cucumbers, crunchy carrots, plump potatoes on your plate only hours after harvesting, you will taste such a difference compared to shop-bought produce. The 89 members of Harley Allotment Society enjoy raising their own vegetables, fruit and flowers on the 76 plots situated off Occupation Road with views over to Wentworth. The land has been under continuous cultivation since December 1918 and is rented annually from The Fitzwilliam (Wentworth) Estates for the purpose of allotments. In 2027 a full plot rent is £34 and a half plot £17. A full plot is approximately 250 square yards/210 square metres: a half plot is approximately 125square yards/105 square metres. There has been a greater demand for “half plots” which fit in with people’s busy lifestyles. Each year members donate produce which is auctioned at the Harvest Festival in The Horseshoe, the money raised is given to Harley Social Club.
