Fairfields Gardens is situated to the South side of Fairfields next to the school. With the sister site opening this weekend Fairfields Gardens is still a couple of weeks away from being ready. In the meantime here are the latest plans detailing the plot numbers. Allotment tenants will have received their plot number already so know you are one step closer to visualizing yourself on your allotment.
