All About Bute Road Gardeners

Bute Road Gardeners is open to anyone interested in gardening. Many of our members have allotments, mainly on the Bute Road site in Wallington, but some elsewhere. Others have gardens. Whatever your interest in gardening, whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned grower you will be made very welcome!

There is a small annual fee for membership, currently £3. Members are able to buy items from the Trading Hut, receive our newsletter and can take part in our events.

Bute Road Gardeners was formed in 1941, in the name of the Beddington & Wallington Gardeners and Allotment Holders’ Association, as an aid to the Dig for Victory campaign in WW2. The trading hut was built in 1977, hence it is known as the Jubilee Hut. The resolution to change the name to Bute Road Gardeners was passed at the AGM of 2013.

The objects of Bute Road Gardeners are:

To promote the interest of gardeners and allotment holders and to take joint action for the benefit of members
To co-operate with any committee set up by the government, local authorities, or other bodies to further the interest of allotment holders
Endeavour to protect allotment plot-holder members from vandalism, trespass, and theft, via the local authority
To manage the Trading Hut, to provide members with composts, fertilisers and sundry gardening items at best available prices
To arrange competitions and exhibitions

The overall management responsibility for our allotments and all LBS allotments is now contracted out to IdVerde as part of the South London Waste Partnership. The London Borough Of Sutton still own our site.
