About half of this area is where Elvaston staff and volunteers grow fruit and vegetables and since 2010 have run a small allotment project.
Every year, with support from a small dedicated team of volunteers, Elvaston grows and harvests a range of vegetables, fruit and flowers and has them available to buy in our information centre and shop.
All proceeds are used to buy seeds, materials and equipment for the following year, ensuring that this project is self-sustaining.
If you would like to get involved growing fruit, vegetables and flowers with like-minded people, we have opportunities for volunteers to support this project on Thursdays. For more information email volunteering@elvastoncastle.org
