Welcome to Dig In

Welcome to the blog for the Dig In Community Allotment in Stapleford, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. It's run by and for local people who like growing fruit and veg and like eating it even more! This blog is a place to share our news and experiences from the allotment, along with our favourite recipes to turn the things we grow into delicious meals.

We are the happy band currently looking after Dig In. We come from all walks of life, and several countries. Our knowledge of allotment growing ranges from expert to keen but clueless, and we have a wide range of physical abilities, but all of us do what we can, and it works!

Stapleford Carnival 2011







Once again DIG IN attended the Stapleford Carnival ( 3.9.11)with an array of fruit and veg, preserves, seeds and strawberry plants to give out to local people. A fabulous well dressing was created and now is displayed for a week at Stapleford town Council. Lauren, Gill, Chris, Claire and Kathy were able to chat to people about DIG IN, offer growing advice and encourage involvement in the future events and coming along to wednesday and saturday sessions- although any discussion was in competition with a very noisy falcon on the next stall! Hundreds of people came to Stapleford Carnival- a great opportunity for us to publicise the Garden. Lots of folk were very interested in coming along and the swell of support for the Apple and Pumpkin days was evidence of how DIG IN is fast becoming a well known and well loved part of the Stapleford community. Thanks to the Town Council for a stall in their gazebo and their support.
