‘Grow your way to five a day’! This seems to be the motto for more and more families in Drinkstone.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have 2 allotment sizes: Gedding Road with 14 plots of various sizes, and Rattlesden Road with 7 plots. Water is piped in to both sites.<\/span><\/p>\n

The price per plot is \u00a315 a year for a single plot and \u00a324 per plot for a double plot including the cost of water. So one crop of beans will more than cover your rent!<\/span><\/p>\n
