I would love to come but I am a bit far away!  I hope some of our local sites do this again this year.  I love having a nose around other people's plots!

Wish our site did something like that, have a good day.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

I tried to get our site to agree to it but all they said was "well I just give my stuff away to anyone who wants it!"  ::)  missing the point of raising money for the association there a bit!

more than one person has asked the point of open days given the length of waiting lists, but I think it's good to let people see what their council tax is supporting...

Ours is on 8 August at 11am. So if anyone is near Queens Road, London E17...
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

Ours it at Mickleham Way Allotment - Croydon Sunday 19th July. 

We are giving away a free pack of seeds or strawberry plant to the first 50 visitors.  I have managed to persuade 7 local businesses to donate prizes for our raffle and I have also had a very generous donation of £100 worth of plants to sell all for the association. 

I love seeing other sites too!
