Allotments
Wendover Parish Council manages two allotment sites within the parish. The allotments provide affordable growing spaces for both experienced gardeners and beginners, with plots available at Hogtrough Lane and London Road. The sites help support sustainable gardening, biodiversity and community wellbeing within Wendover.
Benefits of allotment gardening
Allotment gardening offers a wide range of benefits for individuals, families and the wider community. As well as providing space to grow fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers, allotments encourage healthy outdoor activity, support wellbeing and create opportunities for people to connect with nature throughout the year.
Allotments also play an important role in supporting biodiversity within Wendover by creating habitats for pollinators, birds and other wildlife. Many allotment holders enjoy sharing gardening knowledge, seasonal produce and traditional growing skills with others in the community.
Benefits of having an allotment include:
-
Growing your own fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs
-
Supporting local wildlife and pollinators
-
Improving physical and mental wellbeing
-
Spending more time outdoors and staying active
-
Learning new gardening and growing skills
-
Reducing food miles and supporting sustainability
-
Meeting other local gardeners and allotment holders
-
Enjoying a peaceful and rewarding outdoor hobby
Rainwater harvesting
Wendover Parish Council designed, constructed and installed rainwater harvesting systems at both allotment sites to help reduce water usage and support sustainable gardening practices. The systems collect and reuse rainwater to help maintain plants, shrubs and trees across the sites.
Wendover Parish Council also supported Climate Action Wendover (CLAW) by helping create a rainwater harvesting system for the Wendover Wildbelt - a developing biodiverse community space designed for nature, wellbeing and environmental education.
Applying for an allotment
If you would like to apply for an allotment in Wendover, please download, complete and submit the allotment application form. Applications are reviewed by Wendover Parish Council, and plots are offered when spaces become available.
Who can apply?
Anyone living within the boundary of Wendover Parish can apply for an allotment plot. Applications from outside the parish will only be considered where the applicant lives in an area without its own allotment provision and where there is no waiting list of Wendover Parish residents.
Waiting list
Wendover Parish Council operates a waiting list for allotment plots. When a plot becomes available, it will normally be offered to the applicant who has been waiting the longest within the catchment area.
Before committing to an allotment tenancy agreement, a member of Wendover Parish Council will arrange a convenient time for you to visit the available plot.
Wendover Parish Council would like to thank Wendover and Villages Community Board for their support and funding towards the rainwater harvesting systems at the London Road allotments and the Wendover Wildbelt.
