Downton Allotment and Leisure Gardeners Association
Downton Parish Council’s Allotments are located in Wick Lane, Downton (opposite the Leisure Centre) and are managed by the Downton Allotment and Leisure Gardeners Association (DALGA).
Please contact DALGA’s Joint Chair, Chris Hall, if you are interested in renting an Allotment (contact details below). If a plot isn’t currently available, DALGA operate a waiting list.
The Allotments at the rear of the Catholic Church in Barford Lane are situated on private land and are managed by the Catholic Church.
DALGA holds an Annual General Meeting (AGM) and regular Committee meetings. The Committee arranges the occasional social gathering and has planted fruit trees in the communal orchard, hedging plants alongside the adjoining field for wildlife, and a wind break. A ‘seed scheme’ is in operation where Allotment holders enjoy a discount on seeds and plants. DALGA receives an additional discount which goes towards site maintenance.
