Elder Stubbs Charity is the proud owner
and manager of Elder Stubbs Allotments, at Rymers Lane in Cowley,
Oxford. The site is a leading example of the successful reinvention of
allotment management, and provides a working model for the involvement
of disparate members of the local community in city land use.

Charity provides
over 100 allotments for local residents. In addition it
has diversified by letting tenancies to other charities with similar
aims to itself. Notable amongst these are The Porch “Steppin' Stone”
project which cultivates an area of land to grow the organic vegetables
used at its
day-centre to provide meals for the long-term unemployed, and the Elder
Stubbs Garden Group, part of RESTORE, which
cultivates 2½ acres
as an organic market-garden and
