Community Garden Hub

.Northa Fields Allotments is situated in the heart of Tupton, Derbyshire, and is proudly run by the community, for the community.

For us, an allotment is about much more than simply growing fruit and vegetables. It’s about getting outdoors, meeting people, sharing ideas, learning from each other and creating somewhere that friends and families can enjoy spending time together.

Whether you’re an experienced gardener who knows the difference between twenty varieties of tomato, or someone who has only just discovered that potatoes actually grow underground, you’ll be made to feel welcome.

There’s no expectation that having an allotment means you suddenly have to give up your entire life and move into a shed.

If you’ve only got one day a week to spend on your plot, that’s absolutely fine. If you’re one of the hardcore plot holders who turns up seven days a week, knows every weed personally and starts worrying about the courgettes while lying in bed at night, that’s fine too.

How much time you spend at Northa Fields is entirely up to you.

What matters is enjoying your plot, looking after it and being part of the friendly community we’re continuing to build.

See What Our Plot Holders Have Achieved

Have a look through the photographs on our website and you’ll see some of the fantastic work our plot holders have put into Northa Fields.

Every plot is different, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Some people concentrate on traditional vegetables, while others enjoy growing fruit, flowers or experimenting with something completely different. Some plots are beautifully organised and look as though every carrot has been issued with its own postcode. Others are a little more relaxed — but that’s all part of allotment life.

It’s also worth remembering that gardening is never completely within our control.
