Site species count:
Queen's Road Allotments is a private site, coordinated by a Friends group comprising owners and renters. There are about 70 members of the Friends group representing 80-90 active plots. Whilst the site is generally only accessible to those with allotments, new people are very welcome to join the waiting list. New allotmenters can be supported whilst contributing to community beds and hopefully at the end of a year given a more more permanent bed. There is an an annual open day - recently attracting over 250 people.
A number of plots are not actively gardened so they have become a haven for many different species of wildlife. There are also plots with wildflower grassland, shrubs and a few ponds, as well as vegetables and fruit.
