Calum Hislop has been in touch about a tree planting event at Garthdee on the 27/4/18. Calum would be delighted to hear from any plotters who might be interested in helping out with some planting.
Please let Calum know if you might be attending, to help with the organising of drinks and snacks for the number of likely attendees.

Once Stuart got the idea that triangles need three legs, today’s bonfire got off to a blazing start.
After that, we got on like a house on fire.
Apologies are due to all of those who came to help, but were not captured on film. Let’s just say the photographer got caught up in the heat of the moment.
We did manage to catch sight of Gordon, our volunteer who came along to help, making this four days this week he has been helping out. Ashley gets the ‘Best Boots of the Day’ award.
So, with so many hands to help we shifted the entire collection of stuff and finished with a cup of well-earned coffee just after twelve noon. The Committee send their sincere thanks to everyone who helped.
The best news of all is that we get to do it all again tomorrow for Community Sunday and the weather is set fair again. This is more like it!
Our South Bank matures with each passing season and is beginning to look just great this Spring.
Thanks go to Michael on Plot 88, our plotters and volunteers for all their efforts and to Aberdeen City Council for their kind donation of spring bulbs over several years.
Calum Hislop from the River Dee Trust has been in contact to flag up this up-coming community opportunity.
The River Dee Trust as part of its river bank improvements is planning a significant tree planting event on the 27th April on the land behind Sainsburys.
I am getting in touch to ask if you or any of your membership would like to get involved.
The event is being organised as a community event with support from the River Dee Trust. The Scottish Woodland Trust, and the AWPR fund. Sainsburys are also offering to support the event with hot drinks and snacks.
I will forward promotional material as it is produced but thought it a good idea to flag the event up to in advance.
Today was wonderful and it was great to see so many plotters on site in warm sunshine, but what a long winter we have had. Which made seeing these little guys all the more welcome.
I am sure everyone notices them as they enter the site, and I have been aware of them over several years now, but I wonder if anyone knows anything about how they come to be there? They are in such an exposed site, so close to the road, it is hard to believe they self-sowed there.
For that matter, can anyone help name them?
In recent years ACC has donated many thousands of other bulbs and it’s great to see them thriving around the site.
