Crowborough Town Council

Newly opened in April 2009 with 100 plots, Owlsbury now has over 260 plots and the capacity for further expansion.  Situated on former farm land, the Owlsbury site is about a mile from Jarvis Brook on the Hadlow Down Road. 

The majority of allotment plots here are of a standard size (10m x 4m) but a handful are much larger (10m x 16m).  Keen gardeners may rent more than one plot! NEW from April 2012 - small half plots (5m x 4m) for novice gardeners or those with little time. 

The site is protected by a rabbit- and deer-proof fence and is supplied with water, a car park, composting toilet and composting facilities.  There is also an apiary nearby. 

There is no long term waiting list although there are occasionally periods when a short term waiting list is in operation.  Owlsbury has its own allotment association, known as OATS (Owlsbury Allotment Tenants Society) which plot holders are encouraged to join.
