About the Heritage Display Garden
This workshop will take place on our Heritage Display Garden. This unique plot showcases the use of allotments through three different periods in history.
The Heritage Display Garden is maintained by volunteers at STAA for educational purposes. It features a variety of mature fruit trees, many of them heritage varieties, and also includes a pond, a glasshouse, and a Victorian summer house.
St Ann’s Allotments are Grade 2* Listed by Historic England, and designated an Area of Importance for Nature Conservation. It is the oldest and largest area of Victorian detached town gardens in the UK, with over 700-years of history, 500 gardens, and 32 miles of hedgerow.
