The St Margaret’s Allotments Association has over 160 members who garden in the heart of Durham City.
We grow fruit, vegetables and flowers on a large site of over 100 plots.
Lots of our members have a strong interest in organic gardening.
Spring
At the allotments we are preparing, planting and protecting young plants.
Summer
The allotments are full of colour and growth.
Late Summer and Autumn
Beans and squash are harvested. Lots of fruit on the apple trees.
Winter
Some vegetables overwinter. Hardy winter veg such as cauliflower, celeriac and parsnips are harvested. We plan for the coming season. Seeds are planted indoors and potatoes are chitted.
