Wrexham Allotment and Leisure Gardeners Association

Welcome to the new season!

The Allotment and Leisure Gardners Association Working In Partnership with Wrexham County Borough Council.

Even Better in 2008!

2007 was a very busy productive year for the Wrexham Allotment and Leisure Gardeners Association and thankfully 2008 looks to be even busier. Our shop at Price’s Lane proved to be a real magnet for all types of gardeners, whether allotment holders, private gardeners, young, old, expert or beginner, everybody came and bought huge amounts from us and made the year our best ever yet. Thank you to all our customers, we look forward to seeing you again from February 2nd.

We are not putting a price list on the website this year but if you need to have specific information then please visit the Price’s Lane Allotment Shop or email marvellousgardens@btinternet.com.

The shop is located on the Price’s Lane Allotment Site in Price’s Lane, Wrexham. 

• February to October – every Saturday 10.00am – 12noon
• April to July - every Wednesday evening 6.00pm – 7.00pm

What's on Sale for 2008

We will be continuing to stock an excellent range of peat, reduced peat and loam free products. More and more we need to be looking for products that are more sustainable and these products appear to be the answer. As gardeners we need to be in the forefront of protecting our wonderful world and the allotment shop is working very hard to go in this direction. This year we will have a quantity of Strulch for purchase as well. Please key in Strulch on the web for more exciting information.

• We will continue to sell our other successful ranges of compost and fertilisers including ericaceous compost which is ideal for those acid loving plants such as acers, magnolias, heathers and of course for those blueberry plants.
• We have a fantastic selection of seed potatoes to choose from including organic varieties.  2007 saw many people suffering blight on their potatoes and this year we have purchased our seed potatoes from a very good supplier in Scotland.   
• Another beauty of the shop is that you can buy kilos of potash, or potato fertiliser or Epsom salts and much more instead of having to purchase that huge bag which tends to then languish in the shed going hard.  Our wonderful volunteers weigh whatever quantity you need. Fleece, bubble wrap and weed suppressant black fabric can also be purchased by the metre. 
• Anyone can become a member of the SHOP and the association by paying a small membership fee of £2.50. 

BIG NEWS FOR 2008 – The Price’s Lane Allotment site has been invited to open as part of the National Garden Scheme event for 2008. The opening day will be JULY 12TH. Please look in the Yellow Book for more information or email me on marvellousgardens@btinternet.com if you are interested to take a walk around an allotment site brimming full of ideas that you can take back to your own garden whatever the size.

So if you haven’t already visited the shop, come on down and say hello. The real bonus of our SHOP is that you will be served by genuine gardeners who really do know what they are talking about and will gladly pass on their wealth of experience. These knowledgeable gardeners have chosen the products on sale so what more convincing do you need?

Happy growing...
