Welcome to Glyncoli Allotment Society

The Glyncoli Allotment Society is a small 15 plot, south facing, hill side allotment in Treorchy in the Rhondda Valley.

It is a local authority owned site managed by a member society for the benefit of it's members by a chair person, secretary and treasurer. The Association holds an annual General Meeting which elects a committee which is responsible for the day-to-day running of the site. A copy of our constitution is available on the downloads page.

Purpose of the society :

  • To promote, protect and preserve an allotment community at the Glyncoli Allotments site.
  • To support and encourage the pursuit of gardening as a healthy recreation for the social and physical welfare of our members and the wider community, with the objective of improving their quality of life.
  • To contribute to healthy living through open-air physical activity and the cultivation of natural food produce, flowers and fruit trees.
  • To foster community fellowship and social relationships between Members.

Facilities :

  • There is no toilet on site.
  • There is no running water on site apart from that which comes down from the sky and you capture yourself.
  • There are is no café or refreshment hut other than what you bring yourself or share with others.
  • Plot holders are given a key to access the secure site whenever they want.
  • We have a communal storage shed and some basic tools you can borrow.
  • We have a seed share box in the communal shed. Share your spare seeds, and take what others have left.
  • There is lots of fresh air, and birds to listen too.
  • As much hard work (or relaxation) as you make for yourself.
  • The absolute satisfaction of eating something that you have nurtured and grown with your own hands (if you can get there before the pigeons, slugs, flea beatle and caterpillers).
