About CHADAHS
CHADAHS is a society of local allotment holders and gardeners.
Allotment holders come mainly from the sites at
Shepherds
Hill
and
Alexandra
Palace. Gardeners come
from across the
surrounding
area of the
borough
of
Haringey! The society
is managed by
an
elected
committee.
Membership is only £2 per year,
and allows you to buy goods from the trading sheds,
free
entry
into
our
Summer Show, and ensures you will
hear about
events such
as our plant
sale and
Summer
trip. You DO NOT
have to be an
allotment holder to join
the
society or
enter
the show! It's easy
to join - just ask at
our
trading sheds or
phone or
send us an
email (see
Contacts).
What are the Benefits to Society Members?
All Society Members are able to purchase a wide variety of
goods,
many
of
which
are difficult to obtain elsewhere,
and all of
which are
very
competitively
priced.
For this year (2008), we organised a bulk order of a
wonderful
range
of
37
different varieties of seed
potatoes.
Later this year, we will again be selling at least one
if
not
two
'green
manure' seeds. Green manures are
crops
which you
plant into
empty ground in late summer and
which
grow over
winter,
stopping
nutrients from washing
away,
fixing nitrogen, and
helping break up
the
soil.
Our prices
are very low compared with
commercial packets.
You will also have the wide ranging expertise of
other
local
gardeners
and
allotment holders. From
beginners to
professionals,
our
membership
covers
enthusiasts from all
walks of life
and
enables the sharing of
knowledge.
You can come and enjoy - or even better - enter some of your
produce
into
-
one
of London's best and friendliest
local Summer
Shows.
Advance notice and booking for our annual trip to
a
place
of
'growing'
interest. Always enjoyable and if
the
coast is within
range, we
have a
tradition of
trying to
include a paddle and an
ice-cream on
the
beach!

We are Local!
