AllotmentsThe Wokingham Horticultural Association is always pleased to give help and advice. Details of the organisation will be sent with the agreement if you decide to rent an allotment. The Horticultural Association also has a shed at the Ormonde Road site which is open mainly at weekends for advice, purchases of materials and such like.

The cost of an average plot (5 poles) is currently £33.25 per annum for 2009/2010. Concessions are available.

Our allotments are available to residents of the town of Wokingham  only. They are very popular and there is currently a waiting list of 5-6 years. For further information please contact the Amenities Officer giving your name, address (with postcode) and telephone number or complete the online enquiry form below. Please note that if you live in other parts of the borough of Wokingham e.g. Earley, please contact your relevant town or parish council for details of allotments to rent.
