About The National Allotment Society


Founded in the early 20th century, The National Allotment Society is the leading representative body for UK allotment holders with over 125,000 members.

We work with government, landlords and developers to provide, promote and preserve allotments – highlighting the social and environmental benefits of growing sites and preserving allotments for future generations.

Membership comes with a host of benefits including legal advice, liability insurance, horticultural discounts, allotment expertise, advice and guidance. 

His Majesty King Charles III is our patron. His deep passion for gardening, commitment to environmental causes, and steadfast dedication to preserving the UK's rich traditions make him an invaluable advocate for our mission.
