About Us
Lane Avenue & Moorside Community Allotments is a friendly group of plot holders who love fresh air, fresh vegetables, and fruits. We are all more than happy to swap plants and share tips and ideas. Feel free to stop by for a chat over a cup of tea!
Why Choose Lane Avenue & Moorside Community Allotments
Lane Avenue & Moorside Community Allotments is more than just a place to grow vegetables — it’s a place to grow friendships, confidence, and community.
Managed by a volunteer committee with input from plot holders, everyone has a voice here. We believe an allotment should belong to the people who nurture it, and that shared ownership creates a stronger, more welcoming environment
.
Whether you’re completely new to growing or have years of experience, you’ll always find someone willing to share advice or lend a hand.
A Space for Everyone
We are proud to be an inclusive allotment, open to everyone regardless of background, ability, age, or experience.
Families are welcome, beginners are encouraged, and no one is expected to know everything on day one. Many of our plot holders started with very little knowledge — and quickly became confident growers thanks to the support of others.
Here, community comes first.
A Haven for Wildlife
Our site is rich in biodiversity and full of life beyond the vegetable beds. We’re lucky to share the space with badgers, foxes, bats, frogs, and toads — and we even have our own dedicated newt pond.
For many of our members, simply spending time outdoors among nature is just as rewarding as the harvest itself.
More Than Just Growing
Throughout the year we host community days, working sessions, Open Days, seed swaps, and family events such as Easter egg hunts. These events bring people together, strengthen friendships, and keep the site thriving.
The allotment is a place where people stop for a chat, share seedlings over the fence, and celebrate each other’s successes.
Conveniently Located
Based in Walsall and just a stone’s throw from Junction 10 of the M6 and Reedswood Park, our site is easy to access while still feeling like a peaceful escape from everyday life.
