Arriving just in time to plant some winter veg before the first frost, Roots Allotments has opened its new Bentham Fields site – and it's offering an exclusive Black Friday offer to get Gloucestershire growing.
Anyone who signs up for a plot at Bentham Fields during November 2025 will save £39.99, as there's no joining fee to pay.
Promising to make growing easy, all Roots Allotments memberships include seeds, plug plants, shared tools and access to water, plus all plots are 'no dig' so you can get stuck in straight away.
'No dig' allotments provide a unique way to grow that requires less watering and less weeding, by using a cardboard substrate covered in compost to suppress weeds, while preserving microbial allies which help keep soil healthy and nutritious.
From starter patches for beginners getting to grips with how to grow, to couples allotments and group patches ideal for more confident growers, there's something to suit people of all levels.
Starter patches cost from £19.99 per month and can yield around £1,165 worth of produce each year, from vegetables and herbs to flowers.
Memberships are available to pay monthly, quarterly and annually – with quarterly and annual subscriptions including a free composter worth £14.99, too.
With waits of up to 14 years for allotments across the UK, Roots offers an accessible way to grow your own food, even if you've got no outdoor space of your own, with loads of online lessons, one-to-one support available from your local patch manager and growing expert, as well as watering and weeding services for when you're away, too.
For more information, or to sign up for a Roots Allotments plot at Bentham Fields, visit rootsallotments.com – but hurry, the Black Friday offer is only available until the end of November 2025.
