Growing Together:
Nuthurst Community Allotment

Nuthurst Community Allotment is a vibrant initiative in the heart of West Sussex. We grow a wide variety of organic fruit and vegetables together, inspired by Charles Dowding’s no-dig methods. By avoiding artificial fertilisers, insecticides, and weedkillers, and focusing instead on composting and soil health, we encourage biodiversity and make gardening less labour-intensive and more rewarding.

 

But it’s not just about the growing. Our allotment is a lively social hub, bringing people from across Horsham and beyond. We host regular member events where we share our produce, enjoy food and a drink together, and strengthen the friendships that come from working the land side by side. It’s a great way to meet new people, be part of a community, and enjoy a constant supply of fresh organic produce.
