Who we are
As lease holders to Canterbury City Council, Herne Bay Allotments and Gardens Association is a self-governing body which controls four sites within Herne Bay, a seaside town on the north coast of Kent.
As well as providing allotment plots we run a small shop for members and organise a range of activities such as quizzes and trips to gardens.
We also run afternoon clubs and other social events.
Local residents who are not plot-holders can enrol as Associate Members.
Until recently our Eddington site took part in the annual Kent Allotments and Gardens Council competition and won the small sites section several times. In 2006 we were judged the best site in Great Britain by the Kitchen Garden Magazine. The following year we won the Southern area section in the Digging For Victory competition organized by UKTV Gardens, which resulted in a TV programme being made about the site.
