Our Latest Projects

At Stamford Street Allotment, we’re committed to creating a thriving, sustainable, and welcoming space for everyone. Throughout the year we undertake a variety of projects that improve our allotment site, support local wildlife, and strengthen our local community.

 

Wildlife at the allotments!

We’re also currently developing a lovely new fruit orchard alongside a wildflower meadow to help our local insect population thrive and give native pollinators a bit of a boost! Our site is already packed with wildlife, including a few resident foxes. On top of that, Cheshire is home to 10 of the UK’s 17 breeding bat species, and we’re lucky enough to see plenty of Noctule bats swooping around our green space in the evenings.

We also have two resident cats! Smudge and Suzy, who spend most of their time on the allotments!

 

 

 

 

Use our site

The Stamford Street Allotment Society community garden features fully wheelchair-accessible pathways, raised growing beds, and sensory spaces designed to accommodate visitors and plot holders of all abilities. The site includes a covered outdoor classroom and meeting hub equipped with tables, seating, and a whiteboard. This infrastructure provides a functional space for hosting community group meetups, running educational workshops, and conducting committee meetings.

We have teamed up with Ellesmere Port in Bloom to open a free community tool library to support local growing projects. Community groups can borrow a wide range of gardening equipment completely free of charge to use on their own greening initiatives.

Our inventory includes:

  • Shovels and spades
  • Hand trowels and hand forks
  • Wheelbarrows
  • Rakes
  • Safety gear, including high-vis vests and gardening gloves suitable for all ages
