Deptford Allotments and Gardens Association
There are a number of allotments in the local area, probably least visible are those in a narrow strip between St Norberts Road in Brockley and the railway line (the entrance is near the junction of Mantle Road/St Norberts Road by the Chinese takeaway). They are run by Deptford Allotments and Gardens Association (DAGA) and have been in existence since the 1930s. DAGA now have their own website, and are developing a blog which will include gardening tips and the history of the allotments.
new website is at https://www.deptfordallotments.co.uk
