Information about allotments in general and particularly in Ely is given on this website, along with a contact us form if your question is not answered here.

A seasonal thought in readiness for winter
'Gardening is not outcome-oriented. A successful harvest is not the end of a gardener's existence, but only a phase of it. As any gardener knows, the vitality of a garden does not end with a harvest. It simply takes another form. Gardens do not "die" in the winter but quietly prepare for another season.' ― James P. Carse, Finite and Infinite Games
