Application forms for the 2017 competition are now available and entries have to be returned got to be returned to Aberdeen City Council by 14 July. We have always been big supporters of the City’s, Britain in Bloom efforts and I hope we will see the usual big entry from plotters this year. A good level of entries helps show how keen we plotters are on our allotments and the Council’s work to support green spaces and gardening.
Plotters can pick up an entry from from the Bothy or from Council offices and libraries. Alternatively, you can submit your entry online via the Aberdeen in Bloom Page.
I hope we will see a bumper crop of entries this year!

Thanks to David for pointing out this beautiful Elephant Hawk-Moth visiting on his plot recently. What a stunner! Otherwise known as Deilephila Elpenor (that’s easy for you to say!)
We are keen to build up photos and information about all the wildlife our site supports. If you have any photos or information about sightings please send them on to me or Norman.
The weather seems to be set fair, so we are hoping for a bumper turnout for this week’s Community Sunday – 21 May.
Coming along is a great way to meet other plotters and get up to date with what’s going on around our site. We have a lot happening right now and many helping hands make for light work.
I hope we will see the regulars and some new faces on the day. As always, there will be coffee and cake (about 12.30) in the sunshine and plenty opportunities for a natter during and after the activities.
Carole is a regular visitor to Garthdee Field as you know and plans to be back with us on April 26 from around 10.00. Carole will be hoping to record some material for her Radio Scotland programme, Out for the Weekend.
If you would like to meet with Carole, please come along. We cannot promise, but for sure Carole will want to meet as many plotters as time allows.
Carole has been very supportive of our efforts in the past, personally donating flowers to the South Bank and taking a great interest in our activities in the Community Garden and on our plots.
Please do try to find the time to come along with any questions or stories you want to tell. The more the merrier!
