Eltham and Avery Hill Gardens Society

About us

Our society was founded in 1952 to bring together people of every background and all ages from the local area who have an interest in the cultivation of allotments and gardens.

 

Many of our members live locally or have an allotment at Pippenhall Farm on the Bexley Road where we have a shop that is open every Sunday morning selling a wide variety of garden related products at discount prices.

 

 OBJECTIVES

 

1.  To promote the interests of allotment holders and gardeners and to encourage good

cultivation of allotments and gardens by obtaining for members specialized advice

when required and providing good quality fertilizers, tools etc at reasonable prices.

 

2.    To co-operate with any committee set up by the government, local authority or other

body to further the interests of allotment holders, gardeners and horticulture generally.
