Huddersfield Allotments and Gardens Federation

We are a group who has been in existence since the Second World War and are here to promote interest in gardening within the Huddersfield area and assist our members in the different facets of growing quality flowers and vegetables.

We meet on the third Monday of each month at Turnbridge Working Men’s Club in Huddersfield. We have a mixture of talks, slide show presentations and a quiz. Members can also enjoy a social drink and discuss their Gardening trials and tribulations with like-minded people. Everyone is welcome to attend.

We are affiliated to the National Allotment Society and through this members can access plot insurance and a discounted seed scheme from Seed Kings.
