Uplands Allotments are situated on the northwestern edge of Birmingham, adjacent to the Sandwell Valley Country Park. It is the largest allotment site in the UK – with 422 plots – it opened in 1949, with its own office and meeting hall.
With rising food prices and increasing interest in healthy, locally grown produce, allotments are again much sought after following years of decline. The Uplands Allotments are owned by Birmingham City Council, and plot-holder's rent is paid to the Council annually. There is also a local group of plot-holders who meet regularly to maintain and improve the site and provide social functions.
We grow fresh products, plants, cactus, and many more items. It is a great way to meet people, get some outdoor exercise, and fresh air. There is a garden shop on site and a meeting venue available for hire which has extensive kitchen facilities. For more information please call 0121 554 7742 or 07399 065 007.
