WHO WE ARE
The Merrylee Story
Merrylee Plotholders Association celebrated 100 years of gardening in 2017. As part of a city wide heritage project, a few members of the Association delved into the archives to research and write the history of Merrylee and chart its development over that time. The Centenary Celebrations booklet reflects changing horticultural trends, the impact and importance of growing during wartime and brings us up to date with new developments, a changing membership and why allotments are still relevant inthe 21st century.
Our thanks to Joan Menmuir, David Carver, Ray Cartner and John McGregor for their hard work in producing this unique record of the life and times of Merrylee Plotholders Association.
This link takes you to book print lay out. in time we'll re format this into a 'long read'

WHAT WE DO
Allotments for the 21st century
Sustainability and Biodiversity
The Merrylee Sustainability group supports all manner of activities in an effort to be kinder to our planet.
Our bio diversity and sustainability initiatives are wide ranging - from encouraging best practise in recycling and composting to longer term benefits such as encouraging our children to plant wildflower beds or building 'bug hotels.
This also makes a major contribution to the natural resources and habitats in the surrounding neighbourhood of Merrylee
