Our Community Sundays are a great way to meet your fellow plotters and our volunteers and enjoy a good blether while we get some site-wide tasks done.
This Sunday we hope to:
We hope you will be able to come along and lend a helping hand.
After the long Covid break, it was great to have the wonderful Kaimhill kids back visit with us along with Captain Grow, aka Peter (Plot 29).
Thanks go to Hazel, Anne, Steve, Raymond, Ron and Norman for hosting groups on their plots and to Mr Skinley and his colleagues for taking the kids along to us.
The kids return on Tuesday 9 May and then for the next six weeks or so at the same times. If you can spare an hour or so between 13.00 and 14.20 and would be willing to have the kids visit on your plot we would love to hear from you.
We are delighted to acknowledge the generous support of Scotmid’s Community Orchard Scheme that allowed GFAA to purchase 5 new fruit trees for our site. Thanks also go to our volunteer squad who recently completed the planting.
Last Friday also saw preparations for the installation of our new cabin take a step forward with the start of the container removal exercise. A big thanks to all those who cleared their containers to allow this to proceed and of course Scottish Government’s Just Transition Fund which provided the funding for the cabin.
Thanks to everyone, plotters, volunteers, friends, nursery staff and kids and ACC staff who managed along to help and encourage and so contributed to a very safe and successful bonfire day.

It’s Garthdee Fields’ annual bonfire tomorrow – Tuesday 21 March 2023. If you have any available time to help feed the flames between 10.00 and 14.00 it will be very much appreciated. Very old clothes and gloves are essential.
Regular visitors will remember that Anna and Fiona from the, It’s a Small World programme on BBC Radio Scotland visited with us some weeks back.
The programme went out early Sunday morning, but can be accessed at any time via BBC Sounds.
