Grow Your Own in Acocks Green

Posted on September 8, 2026 by Kit Barlow

Would you like to grow your own fruit and veg? An allotment garden can bring you that freshly-picked flavour, more time in nature, fresh air and exercise and is a great way to encourage children to eat more healthy food when they helped grow it themselves! An allotment also offers a lovely way to escape the stresses of life. What’s not to like?

This is a good time of year to get started. We have several allotments associations in our area that have plots available to rent from October, and offer support all year around. You would become part of a quiet social group with common interests.

Email to allotments@AcocksGreener.com to ask about vacant plots available. 
(Plots vary in size and discounts are available for people aged 65+). 

If gardening is – or could be – your thing, please send us an email and we will try to help.

Bank Holiday Acocks Green Puzzle

Posted on April 3, 2026 by Kit Barlow

This was compiled for the quiz for the sell out and successful Village in Bloom’s Bloomin’ Good Night last week. A bit of fun, and a way to test your knowledge of Acocks Green. It got people pondering long and hard. When we walk down the road we often don’t look up at shop signs. How many can you recognise?!
