Gordon Road
Gordon Road Allotments (about 5 acres) are located off Gordon Road, Finchley, London N3. The site is also bounded by the Dollis Brook, and Dollis Road. There are 102 plots of varying sizes from 35 square metres to 230 square metres plus 12 raised beds for gardeners with a physical disability. All plots are within easy reach of a water tap; the raised beds have an irrigation system. There is a compost toilet, barbecue and picnic area, a log cabin in the raised bed area for shelter with a library of gardening books, and a ‘Green Room’ with facilities for making tea/coffee. Recycled woodchip is supplied for free on a regular basis. Wheelbarrows and mowers are also available for plotholders’ use. Manure and straw (supplied at cost to individual plotholders) are delivered in bulk to order on an annual basis.
Special Plots
There are two apiaries with a number of bee hives run by a Bee Group of plotholders. This area is surrounded by a high fence so that the bees fly high with a reduced risk of annoyance to gardeners. A wildflower plot has been planted alongside one of these apiaries to provide a local cafe for the honey bees.
Raised beds are available for schools and give children a hands on experience of growing fruit and vegetables.
