The Society was formed in October 2005 to cater for the needs of both home gardeners and allotmenteers in the Paignton area of Devon.
We are a social society, with barbecues, fish and chip suppers, coffee mornings, and outings to both local and national garden shows planned amongst our list of events. Members also benefit from discounts on a range of seeds and other horticultural products.
We are also a campaigning society, representing the rights of the plot holder and dedicated to preserving Paignton's precious allotment sites and green spaces. In a short space of time, we have become regarded as the leading voice in fighting for a better deal for Paignton's allotments. Plus we have plans to revive the Paignton Horticultural Show.
We have a forum on Yahoo that will allow you to discuss gardening and allotment issues and give and share advice. You can post photos and details of your local show, for sales, wants or just tell people about your gardening experiences or a show or garden you have visited. In fact anything gardening and allotment related!
Its for members of the society, plus home gardeners and allotmenteers throughout the South Devon area who share an interest. But if you live further afield ...... why not join this group anyway? You may be on holiday in our beautiful corner of England and wish to visit us in person one day. You can be assured of a good westcountry welcome.
