Bagthorpe Gardens is a group of allotments, about 1.8 miles (2.9 km) north-east of the centre of Nottingham.

It is listed Grade II* in Historic England's Register of Parks and Gardens.

[1] James Orange, the independent minister of Barker Gate Chapel in Nottingham, wrote a pamphlet "A Plea for the Poor" (1841), in which he advocated the provision of allotments for poor people, at a time of depression in the framework knitting trade.

The plots would be a quarter of an acre; Orange calculated that this size could support a family for 13 weeks, supplementing a worker's main occupation during a depressed period.

[1] There are now 36 gardens, in an area of about 1.9 hectares (4.7 acres), in three rows from north to south.
