Welcome to Frome Allotment Association...
Frome Allotment Association was formed in 1991 to look after the town's allotments, on behalf of Frome Town and Mendip District Councils.
Recently all active sites have been passed from Mendip to the town council.
There are seven sites within the town — Welshmill, North Parade, Orchard Street, Singers Knoll, Queens Road, Cranmore View and Mendip View.
In total one hundred and fifteen plots are under cultivation. The sites vary in size from the largest at Welshmill with sixty four plots to the smallest at Cranmore View which has just three.
The current demand for organic gardening and grow your own vegetables has meant a leap in demand for allotments.
With a waiting list of over eighty people, keen to grow veg and fruit, there is a real need for more sites within the town.
If you are interested in an allotment and would like to be added to the waiting list please contact us.
