Aberdeen in Bloom

Judging for The Aberdeen in Bloom Garden Competition  2014 will take place over two weeks from 28th July to 8th August. There are various categories for the competition and City Allotments is category 8. I am circulating this e-mail to encourage as many of our plotters as possible to enter the competition this year. Our allotment site is the biggest in the City and the City Council would greatly appreciate a strong participation from our Association.
Judging is based on the following criteria:-
Condition of Plot
Crop Quality
Variety of Crops
Waste Management
Organic Methods Adopted
Aesthetic Quality/Health and Safety
There are a lot of very interesting and varied plots on our site and it would be good to see what the judges say. Don’t be put off because you think your plot might not be good enough – its participating that counts.
A notice has been posted on the site notice board about the competition and I have entry forms available for any one interested. – Just let me know.
The closing date for all entries is 18th July

Unwanted Items Collection May 31/June 1

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.
