Allotments are a great way to grow your own fruit and vegetables on a plot of land away from your home, gardening also contributes towards living a healthier lifestyle and is a great form of exercise.

 

Allotment sites offer a wonderful space in the community, where you can meet like-minded people, swap gardening tips and share produce with others.

​

There are a number of allotment sites across the borough, including those managed by Solihull Council, as well as plots maintained by parish councils and independent associations.

​

For more information on site locations and costs, visit the Council's dedicated Allotments webpage.
