Welcome to the Hillingdon Allotment and Horticultural Federation website

The federation promotes the value of horticulture and allotment gardening.
"Growing your own food on an allotment enables you to get away from everyday worries and stress and also offers the chance to be creative and have a sense of achievement. What you put in you know you get out and can eat the fruits of your labours."
Comments from Marianne Slater (Chair of the Federation 2004-2008).

Allotments provide the following benefits for individuals, groups, families, and the environment:

 

• growing and eating fresh tasty fruits and vegetables
• growing beautiful flowers
• lots of fresh air and healthy exercise
• opportunity to observe wildlife
• meet people with similar interests
• develop a sense of achievement
• escape from stress and worry
• space to create and develop new gardening themes
• opportunity to participate in the local allotment competition
