Information

Plots
Plots are either full plots or half plots governed by a set
of Rules and Regulations set by the Committee who
are themselves governed by a Constitution. Plot
holders are expected to adhere to these rules and regs
and to report any concerns or problems that may arise
to the Committee. Plot inspections take place three
times a year and the site maintenance team (SMT) help
maintain the overall site keeping it in good condition
for your enjoyment and safety. There is a Risk
Assessment that the Committee ask you to read for
your safety while on site. Click here to read. To view a
site plan click here.
Please note: We have a full waiting list and are not
taking any new enquiries at this moment.

Brookfield Allotments is a cherished community
green space where local residents come together to
grow their own fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
Established to promote sustainable living and provide
an opportunity for people to enjoy gardening
regardless of their home size, the allotments offer
individual plots that members can cultivate
throughout the year. The site is often buzzing with
activity, from the quiet tending of plants to friendly
chats among neighbours, creating a strong sense of
community and shared purpose.
Beyond gardening, Brookfield Allotments plays an
important role in supporting biodiversity and
environmental awareness. Many plot holders use
organic methods, encourage pollinators, and share
surplus produce through local food initiatives.
Seasonal events, such as seed swaps, open days, help
connect the wider community and inspire others to get
involved in growing their own food. The allotments
stand as a local example of how green spaces can
nurture both people and nature.
Brookfield Allotments are a self-managed, not for profit
site, leased from the London Borough of Waltham Forest,
with a management Committee.
Brookfield Allotments are situated in Woodford Green
and Highams Park with the border being the River
Ching. The postal address is: Alders Avenue (main gate
entrance), Woodford Green, IG8 9PU. The allotments
are always known as being in Highams Park!
The AGM took place on Sunday 11th October.
13 plot holders were present along with 6
committee members. The Chairman reported that
three members of the Committee had decided to
stand down, namely Sue Bowell, Linda Bondy and
Christine Ludlow. Thanks was given to the three
out going members for their contributions over the
last year. With no one putting their names forward
for election, the remaining six members of the
Committee agreed to continue serving. Minutes of
the meeting to follow once agreed.
Here are some photos of the successful Arts Trail/Open
Day which Mayor Tony Bell and Cllr Rosalind Dore
attended. Thank you to all that contributed and popped in
on the day.
