Welcome to the

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.
The Brookfield Allotments is a self-managed 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!
We have successfully bid for Lottery Funding to
help the allotment site and the local community.
The bid is for seating, benches, and fixed tables on
site and the meadow. Sculptures for the
community, bat boxes, owl boxes and bat
detection devices. The Committee are working in
partnership with The Highams Park Planning
Group and The Ching Action Group (who will
also provide volunteers for some of the work).
The trading hut will open again on Sunday 12
April. To see what is available and useful

We have a new recipe page where plot holders can
get ideas on how to cook their produce. For more
