Allotments

Letham Climate Challenge currently have 2 Allotment sites:

Today’s food system has become the single greatest cause of global warming through soil loss, chemical poisoning, food miles, rainforest destruction and decreasing biodiversity in our oceans. We offer local individuals the opportunity to be more self-sustaining by growing their own fruit and vegetables offering local grown produce free of pesticides.

We offer allotments for rent on an annual basis of various sizes: full plot, half plot and starter raised beds for beginners.

To join our Allotment Waiting List, please read our rules and complete the application form and submit this to LethamClimateChallenge@gmail.com. Plots are available to Perth residents only.

Allotmenteering has many health benefits including physical exercise, mental well-being, an improved diet, it is money-saving and it combats isolation. If you struggle to find enjoyable ways to exercise or to ‘switch off’, then getting close to nature and working with a purpose may be the answer.

You might decide to swap gym time for digging or time spent relaxing with a book for the bench at the plot with a flask – It does not always have to be work at the allotment. Hopefully you can get the whole family involved if your time is juggling growing children too! Growing gives you a sense of achievement and great satisfaction as well as its challenges.

How much does an allotment cost?

Payment of charges. New plot-holders are advised of the charge that is payable at the outset. For subsequent years, payment will be requested annually in January and any changes to charges will be notified in advance
