Allotments
Allotments at Copmans Wick, The Swillett and Dog Kennel Lane may be rented from Chorleywood Parish Council.
Water is available from standpipes from April to October. The Council endeavours to control the boundaries and vacant sites by cutting with flail mowers. In order to do this it is essential that allotment holders dispose of all waste from their allotments within the boundaries of their own plot.

A new website www.growveg.com has been set up which allows people to plan their vegetable plots, print off the plans, organise crop rotation and receive email reminders of when to sow and plant out. There is a £15.00 annual subscription charge to cover the costs of the site but the site offers an initial 30-day free trial.
