Allotments

Elstree and Borehamwood Town Council manages three allotment sites:

  • Melrose Avenue, Borehamwood 
  • Allum Lane, Elstree
  • Stapleton Road, Borehamwood

The reason for an allotment plot is growing fruit and vegetables, flowers and herbs for the plotholder and his or her family.  Plot holders said in a recent survey that their love of allotment gardening stems from the fresh air and exercise they enjoy the opportunity to meet and learn from like-minded people in a relaxed, natural environment.

They said that food they grow tastes better and is cheaper, fresher and healthier than that bought at the supermarket.

From time to time we have a small number of vacancies on our sites.  

Due to significant recent demand, the waiting list for a plot is currently expected to be at least 2 years.

The 2023/24 rate for new plotholders is:

  • Melrose Avenue – £6/pole
  • Allum Lane – £6/pole
  • Stapleton Gardens – £27.50/plot

There is a 50% concession for Elstree & Borehamwood residents aged 65 or over.
