The Barnes Horticultural and Allotment Society (BHAS), the group that runs the East Sheen allotment sites, offers an annual membership to its plot holders. While membership to the society is not compulsory, if you have an East Sheen allotment plot, being a member provides many benefits to the allotment community as a whole.

The BHAS committee members are all volunteers and dedicate their time to manage the East Sheen Allotment sites; all membership funds go to maintain and better the allotment sites as well as organise community events (like the Open Day and the Annual Show).
The membership fee is nominal – about two or three cups of coffee or a selection of bulbs – and provides so many benefits for the allotment sites as well as discounts at the Trading Shed and local community. (However, if cost of membership is a concern, we encourage you to speak with us.)
