We would love to have a BBQ on each of the plots during the summer to give plotholders a chance to get to know each other on the plots.
​
If you want to be involved or, even help organise your plot's event get in touch.
A brilliant event showcasing what can be achieved with a bit of hard work! A great time to chat to other plotholders and have a drink!

Not limited to CNAA members or Cottonmill plotholders!! We will be holding a working party on Sat 17th February to help clear the area formerly housing a polytunnel. This space will be used to improve parking for plotholders. Workers will be rewarded with a sausage sandwich afterwards!

This WP was a great success! Thanks to all that helped out.
Open day - Cottonmill site Sunday 22nd April 2018
We will be holding an open day at the Cottonmill site on Sunday 22nd April 2018 for Sustainable St Albans Week. The gates will be open and we would love it if you could come and help to give people an idea what having an allotment is like, or tips for growing their own at home. We will be running tours at 11, 12 , 1 and 2 so you could be a guide, or simply come down and work on your plot as usual. Email for more info if you wish to help out.
​
We are hoping to have a BBQ on each plot during the summer months. If you would like to be involved or even organise your plot's event do get in touch. The association has a communal BBQ and can provide coals - we just need people to get involved to set dates for each plot and spread the word.
