Community Sundays

Sticky Post

We’re delighted to introduce Community Sunday, a new monthly event taking place on the first Sunday of every month.

Community Sunday is an opportunity for plot holders to come together, help maintain our shared spaces, meet other members, and chat with the Committee in an informal setting. Even an hour of your time can make a real difference to the allotment for everyone.

What we’ll be doing

During each Community Sunday we’ll focus on improving and maintaining the communal areas of the allotment site. These are spaces that everyone uses and benefits from, so every contribution helps keep our site looking its best.

It’s also a great opportunity to:

  • Meet fellow plot holders.
  • Enjoy tea, coffee, cake and biscuits.
  • Speak with Committee members.
  • Ask questions, share ideas and provide feedback.

Next Community Sunday

Date: Sunday 2 August
Time: 10:30am – 12:00pm
Meeting point: The Octagon

You don’t need any special skills or experience—just wear suitable clothing and come along if you can. Whether you stay for the whole session or just an hour, your help is greatly appreciated.

We hope Community Sunday becomes a regular opportunity for everyone to work together, strengthen our allotment community, and keep the site thriving for years to come.

Garthdee Field Allotments Plant Sale

Garthdee Field Allotments will be holding a Plant Sale on Sunday 18th May 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM.

The event will take place at Garthdee Field Allotments, located on Garthdee Road, AB15 9FX.

A wide selection of young vegetable plants, flowers, and other plants will be available for sale. All plants have been grown onsite by our allotment holders.

There will also be a small range of second-hand gardening tools available to purchase.

Everyone is welcome to attend. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just looking to pick up something new for your garden, we’d love to see you there.

Please note:

  • Parking on-site is limited
  • We accept cash and cheques only

Community Sunday Call

Our first Community Sunday of the year is scheduled for this coming Sunday, February 18 2024.

Community Sundays are a great way to get to know our fellow plotters and volunteers while getting some much needed repairs, maintenance and improvements done in good company around our site.

If you can spare an hour or so on Sunday 18 February at 11.00am it would be great to have your help. We end with a coffee and cake session at 12.30.

September Community Sunday 2023

Yes, believe it or not, it’s the third Sunday of the month again, and so the wait is over, and it is time to come and enjoy another Community Sunday on Garthdee Field.

The coffee’s on the brew, the cakes are in the oven, and all we ask in return is a wee spot of your perspiration on this Sunday 17th September to help us keep our site in tip-top, lickity-split condition. Details in the poster. Do come and share a natter with your fellow plotters and our ace Volunteer Squad.

Community Sunday Thank You

We had a good turnout for our August Community Sunday – despite competing with the Lionesses on the day. Thanks to all who managed along to help out – old hands and new. It’s amazing what can get done in an hour or so with many willing hands. Apologies to those who missed out in the photo sessions. Many thanks too, to our behind the scenes bakers and providers. We will meet again on the third Sunday of September.

Community Sunday July

If the weather cooperates we hope to hold our first Community Sunday in a while this week – the last two have been rained off. With IYN and Green Flag assessments upcoming, it would be great to have plotters, volunteers and friends along to help with essential site maintenance tasks and some special new projects.
