Leiston-cum-Sizewell Town Council own two allotment sites within Leiston, with over 200 allotment plots available to residents of Leiston and Sizewell.
Allotments can be a lovely place to grow your fruit and veg or to look after some chickens, but please be aware that they are a lot of work and do require a lot of your time, so please do think carefully before taking up the challenge! Overgrown and neglected allotments will be taken back by the Town Council.
Leiston is also lucky to have a Leiston Allotment Holders and Gardeners Association (LAHGA) which offers competitive prices on gardening supplies at their shop, as well as a 10% discount on gardening supplies at Coopers in Leiston. The association are always about to offer free gardening tips and legal advice. They also hold an annual show, where members can bring along their prized vegetables and plants as well as entering into other categories. If you are interested in becoming a member then please do head to the Allotment Shop at the Valley Road allotments on a Saturday between 10am to 12 noon to sign up!
