You may already know about the Biodiversity Boost Project but, if not, let us introduce it to you…

Alarmed by the lack of pollinating insects and threat to Nature generally, we are encouraging all fellow plot-holders to do at least one more thing to encourage and support wildlife on their plots next year. That may include sowing flowers to provide nectar and pollen, making a small pond, having a compost heap, putting up bird-feeders or having a small log pile as habitat for ground beetles and amphibians. We’ll launch the project properly in Spring 2025, but meanwhile, we’re fund-raising to be able to provide free seeds, plants and pond kits as well as training in recording the wildlife on your plots.

If any STAA members are interested in being involved, please get in touch by contacting the STAA via our website: https://www.stthomasallotmentsassocia...

The St Thomas Allotments Association (STAA) was formed in 1920 to help allotment gardeners in the Exeter area, and their communities.  Today, we work with the Council and allotment gardeners at 9 sites, all west of the River Exe. These allotments are located at Alphington, Exwick, Cowick, Marsh Barton & St Thomas; and, together, they comprise nearly 770 plots and sub plots held by 675 plot-holders, and cover 35 acres.

The association is centred on the historic parishes of St Thomas and Alphington, Exeter - where we operate Trading Sheds, Community Poly-tunnel gardens and a small meeting/refreshment cabin. A series of events are held throughout the year to help encourage allotment gardening and related interests, and to provide community benefits across the city and its region.
