Kidlington Parish Council administers four allotment sites in the village. These are at
- Hazel Walk (between Hazel Crescent and Oxford Road)
- Blenheim Road (by the Scout Hut)
- Yarnton Road (next to the football ground)
- Station Fields (opposite the Highwayman Pub)
An Allotments Group, chaired by the Council and consisting of representatives from each site, meets twice a year.
An amount of money is budgeted annually for ongoing maintenance.
There is a small waiting list for allotments.
Benefits of having allotment:
- Allotment gardening is not only good for your physical health but for your mental health too, providing a sense of purpose and an ideal opportunity to get outdoors and be active at all tines of the year.
- Allotment can provide a valuable community and are a great way of connecting with people and nature
- As the cost of living continues to rise, being able to grow your own fresh tasty produce offers a cost-effective way of putting food on the table
- Nothing beats the sense of achievement in growing something from seed and putting food on the table and being able to say “I grew that!“
