Holgate Allotment Association has developed a neglected former plot near the entrance to its site, to be used by local people as well as allotment holders.

There are several young apple trees, as well as a wildflower area, a community bench and raised planters.  

An orchard existed on the site at the start of the 20th century, selling local apples beside Holgate Beck.
