ST. THOMAS
ALLOTMENTS ASSOCIATION
TRADING SHEDS
The St. Thomas Allotments Association (STAA) in Exeter operates two Trading Sheds which welcome all STAA plot-holders. Our stock includes (but is not limited to) several varieties of compost, ground cover, fleece, fertilisers and canes. We can also place orders for/stock seed potatoes, beans, garlic and onions. Our Trading Sheds are managed by the STAA with an experienced team, who can also offer help and assistance with gardening and growing advice. The Trading Sheds buy-in stock at low or wholesale prices and pass these discounts on to allotment tenants, and gardeners in the local area.
