As part of National Allotment Society’s Allotment Week, Wharfside Park Allotments opened its gates to the public for the very first time, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how the day turned out! The sun was shining, the plots were looking their best, and the sense of community was truly inspiring.
A Big Thank You to Our Committee and Plotholders
First and foremost, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to our dedicated and hardworking committee. The countless hours of planning, organizing, and preparing paid off beautifully. Without your tireless efforts, this event simply wouldn’t have been possible.
To all our wonderful plotholders, thank you for going the extra mile to engage with the public and prospective new members. Your enthusiasm and passion for gardening shone through in every conversation, and it was heartwarming to see so many people interested in joining our community. We know how much care and effort you put into keeping your plots in tip-top condition, and it was evident in the pride you took in showing them off.
