The Shop is based in the large brick building just inside the main gate to Pippenhall Allotments on the Bexley Road between Eltham and Avery Hill. It is open every Sunday morning from 10am to 12pm from February to mid November. 

The shop is run by Pat and David Middleton (Plot 44A) and a group of volunteers to whom the society are most grateful for giving up their time to provide this valuable service to members and plotholders at Pippenhall. Solar powered lighting and gas heating has now been installed inside the shop which has made it a more welcoming environment than before.

If you should need something from the shop at times other than Sunday morning and Graham is working on his plot or David and Pat on theirs(45B and 44A respectively- there's a map on the notice board to help you find them) they will be happy to open up the shop for you.

We are also able to provide a free delivery service to local residents for heavy or bulky items which may help those who do not have access to a car. To arrange this please contact Pat and David.

We sell a wide range of garden products including seeds, seed potatoes, slug pellets, twine, canes, compost (multi purpose, John Innes. organic), potting grits and sharp sand.

There is also a very wide range of loose fertiliser by the pound (such as bonemeal, growmore, fish blood and bone, superphosphate, potato, flower and veg, sulphate of potash, sulphate of iron,  lawn, rose, superphosphate, Epsom Salts), plus compost activator. Prices are around half what you have to pay in B&Q plus you can buy as much or as little as you want.

We try hard to make sure our prices are always competitive and we are usually cheaper than the DIY stores or local garden centres.

Please try to use the shop whenever you can, save money and help support the society as it is our single largest source of income.

Currently we can only accept cash to pay for goods. Cash is not kept on site when the shop is closed.
