Welcome to Whetstone Stray Allotments, Barnet: a lovely West-facing site with a tranquil rural atmosphere, alongside Dollis Brook.
We are a thriving community of keen gardeners of all ages, abilities and styles.
Like all allotment sites in Barnet, we are self managing and administering. Our membership is active in maintaining and improving our site as a whole. Recent communal activities include native hedge and wild flower planting.
Have a look around our website. If you are interested in joining our community, get in touch by email or visit our Trading Hut which is open on Sundays from April – September 10:30-11.30am. We are also have an award-winning Community Plot with disabled access for local groups – please get in touch if you would like to use this or to volunteer on it.

Many thanks to the Woodland Trust for awarding our site a package of ‘wild harvest’: 100 native plants including, hazel, blackthorn, crab apple, dog rose and elder.
These are being used in our hedging projects, to improve our environment, starting with Holden Road field where there is public right of way. The Woodland Trust has also awarded 3 fruit trees for the Community Plot from Adam’s Apples. |
