who we are
The Chesham allotment community is a vibrant mix of people - families, singles, couples, retirees and plenty of little gardeners helping mum and dad.
Despite their diverse backgrounds, they’re united by a shared passion for:
- Growing high-quality, nutritious food
- Understanding and improving how it’s produced
- Supporting organic, eco-friendly practices
- Protecting the environment
- Tackling climate change

Plenty of cakes are consumed every year at our Allotment Cafe!
What we do
Every year, we offer a packed calendar of events from February to October, with activities nearly every week, including:
- Coffee mornings, which take place mainly at the Allotment Cafe in Cameron Road, but also at our Asheridge Road site several times each season
- Seed swaps throughout the summer
- Our Annual Open Day in August at the Cameron Road site, welcoming everyone as part of National Allotments Week
- Seasonal social events in spring, summer and autumn for allotment holders, their families and friends, held at the allotments (such as cheese and wine evenings) or in the Town Hall (for example, quiz nights or bingo evenings)
