Welcome to Armagh Allotments Ltd.

Armagh Allotments Ltd., a Social Economy Enterprise established in 2007, is trying its hardest to work in partnership with Armagh City and District Council to initiate and reintroduce allotments for the residents of Armagh City, but as yet, to no avail!!!

There has been a re-awakening to the benefits of allotments, which stems from the irrefutable benefits they have for communities: as unlike nature reserves that teach urban children how precious nature is, allotments encourage children and others to dig in, feel the benefits and reap the rewards rather than keep it at arms length. Allotments are practical, functional and fun places for learning, living and growing, and they offer city dwellers plenty of outdoor activity!

Whilst allotments are generally for 'personal use' only, many people within the allotment community tend to swap their surplus crops towards the end of the season, encouraging networking and good relations between plot holders. 

Communities and families benefit in so many ways from allotments - if things get a bit hectic at home, allotments offer a deckchair, a newspaper and the possibility of some peace and quiet for the afternoon.

With the increasing cost of basic food, the unnecessary need to import vegetables that could be grown locally and the pressures families have in providing affordable nutritional food, the time has never been more appropriate to have allotments available for everyone living in Armagh.
