About our Organisation

STAA provides community access to 4 amazing green spaces on St Ann’s Allotments. Offering something for all ages, we support local people to learn, play, relax and explore.

Specific activities enable participants to develop their horticulture skills, improve their health & wellbeing, connect with others and explore the heritage of this grade 2* heritage site. Supported by around 100 volunteers per year, STAA runs children, family and school activities on St Ann’s Community Orchard, grows produce at the Nursery for the local community, and is a City and Guilds Accredited training centre delivering qualifications in Practical Horticulture.

October’s Open Day will be extra special. A much larger scale event extending beyond the Community Orchard and into the heart of the grade 2* listed heritage site. We will combine traditional Apple Day celebrations on the Community Orchard with a celebration of the history and heritage of the site, including the contribution of the Caribbean community in preserving this amazing, historic site.

At this event, we will offer free volunteer led heritage tours of the 75 acre heritage site, and provide open access to the Heritage Display Garden also known as Oliver’s Plot, after Tom Oliver, a Windrush gardener who was the last tenant of the plot.
