Gardening and DIY Outdoors

Garthdee Field Allotments Association is a community of allotment holders. You will find us at the junction of Garthdee Road and Pitfodells Station Road. We have over 100 plots on the site, in 3 sizes – full, half and micro. Plotters are members of our association and together we seek to:
-To encourage the use of green and sustainable gardening methods;
-To share good practice and gardening expertise;
-To spread the benefits of plot working and green gardening into the wider community.

We are looking for volunteers to help with our activities on our individual plots, on the Primary School Plot we host, on our raised beds, in the Community Orchard and across the site generally.

A great opportunity to volunteer supporting the allotments and outdoors. All help is greatly appreciated. For more details please contact:
