Rubbish Skip and Bonfire Weekend

By

On May 29, 2014

In Events, News

Just a reminder that a skip will be available on site over this w/e at the front car-parking area beside Garthdee Road. Metal should be placed at the side of the skip – not inside. We expect the skip/trailer to be delivered between 12-30 and 3-30pm this Friday and it will be uplifted on Monday morning.
A good opportunity to get rid of unwanted carpets and corrugated-iron!
We are planning a bonfire on Saturday so make sure any unwanted wood is placed at the top car-park. No need to put wood in the skip.
If you have a spare moment to help with collection and removal of any rubbish into the skip please give us a hand on Saturday or Sunday.
Please don’t overload the skip/trailer.
Thanks,
Stuart

By popular demand we will have another bonfire at the allotment to give everyone a last opportunity to get rid of unwanted wood and old rasp canes etc. Please place any woody items at the top end of the site next to the old Deeside railway line beside the car-park. A small pile of material has already been placed there. We will have the bonfire on Saturday 31st May around midday.
After the bonfire, please do not deposit any material in that area.

The show combines the biggest and best plant fayre in the country with a line-up of experts ready to give advice on all questions about growing and gardening.

Dozens of top nurseries from across the UK will fill the New Hopetoun Gardens Floral Hall with impressive floral displays and they’ll be selling the sorts of top quality and often very rare plants that just can’t be found anywhere else.

Along The David Wilson Homes Show Garden Avenue, leading designers will be creating inspirational gardens, filled with great ideas to recreate at home and there will be expert advice from members of both The Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society and the RHS.

In total more than 400 exhibitors will take part, selling everything from tools and fashionable garden furniture to pots, plants and all the accessories you need for a beautiful garden.

The show takes place from Friday, 30 May until Sunday, 1 June at The Royal Highland Centre Edinburgh and it is a great day out for everyone, from novice gardeners to those with green fingers.”

Unwanted Items Collection May 31/June 1

On May 15, 2014

In Events

Aberdeen City Council have offered to provide us with a trailer/cart to facilitate removal of unwanted items from our plots. This would include old carpets, corrugated iron, wire mesh, glass items and so on. Wood should be retained for burning on site. This offer is being made to help us tidy up our allotments and is a one off.
The trailer will be parked on the site over the w/e of 31st May/1st June. The Council have asked that we do not put corrugated iron or metals in the trailer and instead lay any metal aside for separate uplift.
If you are unavailable during that w/e please make arrangements with fellow plotters to put any items you wish to get rid of on the trailer.
If anyone has stones they wish to get rid of, these can be deposited at the edge of the road beside, but opposite Plot 20 as it is intended to raise the level of this area in future to overcome flooding problems. So no stones should be put in the trailer.
Please don’t overload the trailer.

Some photographs from the second annual BBQ by the Garthdee Fields Allotments Association.  The event was greatly helped by clear blue skies, scorching hot sunshine and plenty of food.  If this wasn’t enough the GFAA held a raffle!
