We were founded 74 years ago by local residents, including our late Chairman and President, Charles Strangwige, to promote gardening and allotment activity in the Avery Hill and Eltham Park areas and we are still going strong today. Many of our members are tenants at Pippenhall allotments on the Bexley Road and other local allotment sites.

We organise various events throughout the year and run a shop at Pippenhall allotments selling a range of popular garden products. The shop is open every Sunday morning from February until the end of November between 10am and midday- see the shop section for more details or better still come along on a Sunday morning to see for yourself. 

If you would like to know more about us, or would like to join please get in touch using the contact form 

We look forward to meeting you soon.

Please note that the shop will be closed on Easter Sunday April 5th and will open again as usual on Sunday April 12th at 10am.

The EAHGS AGM will take place on Monday 30th March at 7.30pm. The venue is the Scout Hut to the rear of 71 Footscray Road in Eltham, which is adjacent to the roundabout junction with Southend Crescent. After the formal business is concluded our guest speaker is John Webb who will give a talk on the Avery Hill Winter Gardens.

Reminder about car use on site at Pippenhall

Please do NOT drive down the centre path at Pippenhall if it’s raining or there has been heavy rain, or use the bottom of the site to turn your car around. The path and the ground at the bottom of the site gets extremely wet and often floods as the water does not drain away quickly.

WHEELBARROWS
Just a reminder that the wheelbarrows are NOT to be taken and used off site. They are for use ON SITE ONLY by those plot holders that have purchased a key to the locker storage shed, please do not keep them on your plot overnight and always return them to the storage room after use.

Please note that all enquiries about allotment availability or joining the waiting list for an allotment should be made with the Royal Borough of Greenwich via their website. We are unable to help with enquiries about allotment availability. Please see the allotments webpage for more information.
