Welcome to the CNAA Website

The Cottonmill and Nunnery Allotment Association (CNAA) was established in 1994 and now supports allotment tenants on the Cottonmill, Nunnery & Sopwell Mill sites in St. Albans, Hertfordshire.

The allotments are owned by and leased from the St Albans City and District Council and we keep a 'watching eye' on them. We offer services encouraging and helping people to get the most out of their plots, organise frequent events and socials including our popular Annual Summer Show, offer discounts on seeds, suppliers and equipment hire and publish quarterly newsletters.

Presentation by Roger Umpelby: Better the Devil You Know
Thursday 2nd February 2012 at 20:00, Sub Aqua Club
*** NEW *** 26 Jan

The CNAA are delighted to host a presentation by Roger Umpelby on Thursday 2nd February 2012 about allotment friends and foes which will look at some of the alternatives that are open to us all. This talk promises to be extremely interesting and informative to all allotment holders and those who are interested in growing, whether recently starting or those with years of experience.

Roger is a well practiced presenter with many years spent travelling all over the country giving a variety of talks to gardening clubs, RHS conferences and lectures at horticultural collages.

The talk on the 2nd February has been specially tailored to St Albans, drawing on Roger's local growing and professional experience. There will also be a Q&A session at the end if you have any thing you would like to ask.

We look forward to welcoming you all from 7:30pm (doors open) at the Sub Aaqua Club on Cottonmill Lane. The talk starts promptly at 8pm and places are numbered. If you would like to reserve a seat then please contact Paul via email on paulump@yahoo.com
