Dobies Seeds Group Scheme for 2025

Hi everyone,

Just when you thought it was time for a bit of a rest with your allotment as you gaze at this year’s harvest, it’s now time to think about next year’s seed ordering!

Teresa Buley (Plot E18) will be once again be running the organising of the seed ordering.

The process for getting this year’s seed order is:

  • Click on the image of this year’s Dobies Seeds Group Scheme Order Form at the bottom of this post and print it out
  • If you can’t print this form out, copies of the order form (along with a number of print catalogues) will be left in the covered box attached to the Allotment Notice Board at the Reading Road gate entrance
  • If you have internet access, visit the Dobies Seed website – https://www.dobies.co.uk/
  • Browse through the online and/or print catalogue and fill out the form, using the prices from the online website or in the print catalogue
  • Once you have your sub-totals, work out the applicable discount, 20% for Packet Seeds and 5% for non-Seed Live Products (i.e. Plants, Potatoes, Onion Sets etc.)
  • Add the discounted totals to the final total in the bottom right corner of the Order Form and this is what you need to pay
  • Payments should be made direct to Teresa Buley either via Cheques along with the completed Order Form, or via Cash or Bank Transfer to Bank Sort Code: 09-01-26, Bank Account: 23892418
  • Completed Order Forms and Full Payment need to be with Teresa by 30th November 2025.

Any questions, please contact Teresa on teresa.buley@woodley-allotments.org.uk.

Our thanks go to Teresa for once again, organising this massive task.

Many thanks &
Kind regards

Mike McNamara
Chair – WATA Committee

      Date for your Calendar – Friday 15th April 2022 – Read on!

      Our Allotments Association have had a long lasting relationship with the Huntley & Palmers Allotments Association based at the Culver Lane Allotments site and tenants have been able to purchase many of their on-site shop products using their ‘Trading Shed’ low-cost membership together with the annual H & P Price Lists, published for your convenience in our Special Bulletins.

      The Trading Shed

      Now, in a first for our Association and in a joint venture, we are going to stage a Pop-Up shop on the Reading Road site. Huntley & Palmers ‘Trading Shed’ has offered to bring many of their shop products to our site for you to purchase and they will also be able to take orders for anything that they don’t have with them on the day.

      The date for your calendar is Friday 15th April 2022 from 10am till 12.30pm. The Pop-Up shop will be located outside the Launchpad poly-tunnel at the bottom of Jersey Knoll (Rows J-K).

      We expect this to be the first of a number of events we are looking to stage this year so please come along and support this innovative event.
