Seed Scheme

MAA is a member of the National Society for Allotment and Leisure Gardeners (NSALG), also known as the National Allotments Society. Together with King’s Seeds they are operating a seed scheme for Allotment Groups and Associations. 

Any member of MAA is eligible to use this scheme for seeds, potatoes, aliums, fruit bushes, fruit trees, small plants, gardening tools & sundries at competitive prices.

In addition, MAA receives a range of discounts on the orders placed through the scheme, the seed elements of orders MAA receives 7.5% early order discount fin respect of orders placed before 14th November each year.

Furthermore, orders for alliums & potatoes give a further 10% discount.

 

These discounts received by the MAA are a valuable contribution to its funds, which help support  members’ activities. Every MAA member can have a hard copy of the Kings / NSALG catalogue or access to the Kings website via MAA login. Please contact our Seed Secretary, Maren Talbot. 

The Kings/NSALG trading year starts on the 1st July and finishes on the 30th June the following  year. Each year Kings change the content of their catalogues and their web site, including prices.

 

 

Online Order Process for Allotment Associations

MAA members require registration by our Seed Secretary (Maren Talbot) to use the online order process. They need to log into the NSALG/Kings website (not the main Kings website, which is for non-associated individuals). Please contact Maren to register and for detailed instructions.  Many of our members have joined this scheme and they really like it.

 

Paper process using the Catalogue and Green Order Form

For members without access to the Internet, there is a paper process. To place an order, complete the Green Order Form supplied with the catalogue. Hand the form over or post it to our MAA Seed Secretary, Maren Talbot, in the self-addressed envelope provided, together with the payment in cash (sadly we are no longer able to accept cheques).

 

Payment can also be made via bank transfer to the MAA account:
Account Name: Marlow Allotments Assn, Sort Code: 40 32 19, Account No: 4146 0919
Reference:  name, site, plot number (eg. FP999 or HH999).

Maren consolidates all orders received and applies the discounts. When the total consolidated order value is more than the minimum order value of £75, she can send them off to Kings. It is possible that this can lead to long delays, so best do it online or contact maren for help with this.
