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!

Apple Day 2011


The Dig In Apple Day event was held on September 24th. The weather was perfect, and the volunteers worked very hard to ensure the event was a great success. Everyone I spoke too said they had a wonderful time, enjoying apple related food and refreshments as well as the various activities. We had over 100 visitors, and very positive feedback was received.

Over £90 was raised on the day through a raffle and donations, which will be put to good use for repairs, gardening equipment and other items needed for the project.

Chris Davis, a Dig In volunteer with a keen interest in photography was our official photographer for the event, and has provided some fantastic images which I have put together as a montage to give a flavour of the event. Please click here for pdf version.
