About Us
Tucked away behind the modern houses of an unassuming Coventry suburb lies a secret that might surprise many local people: an allotment site so historic and so special that it is one of only four in the whole country to have attracted a listing from English Heritage. Twenty-first century gardeners who work this land are following in the footsteps of generations of gardeners before them. Dotted around the site there are also concrete reminders of the past in the form of small huts or bothies where gardeners and their families stayed in the summer.
These days, Stoney Road Gardens comprises about 130 allotments, most of which of which are separated from each other by hedges. The recent upsurge of interest in allotment gardening has meant that we now operate a waiting list for local people who want to join us.
Contact Us
For general enquiries (eg getting an allotment or reporting any kind of problem) contact the Secretary, Ron Adams, on 024 7667 6683 or call in at the trading hut (main drive) on Sunday mornings between 10.30 and 12 midday.
In addition to the above, registered users also have the following options:
- For concerns and questions about the allotments contact the Secretary, Ron Adams;
- For comments and suggestions about the website contact the webmaster.
Stoney Road Gardens now has a waiting list for local people who wish to acquire a plot. Coventry City Council holds information on allotment sites in other parts of the city.
History
