Thanks to everyone who managed along today and made this one of our best turnouts ever. With so many hands on site we got an amazing amount of work done. The sandwiches, cake and coffee were excellent too! If you missed out this time we look forward to seeing you on April 16 for Community Sunday 2.
Feeding the 5000

On the afternoon of 3 October GFAA will welcome to our site 40 students from Gray’s School of Art 1st Year Communication Programme. The students will be asked to investigate and document the location through, illustration, photography, mapping, colour, typography and so on. Their Tutor, Iain Morrison will be joining the students on their visit. It is always very interesting to see how visitors view our site from their different perspectives and I am sure all plotters will be pleased to extend a warm welcome to the students.
Today’s Community Sunday saw our best ever turnout with plotters, volunteers and friends from the Macmillan and RGU plots all well represented. As a result we got a bucketload of tasks done on the wider site.
Sincere thanks to everyone who made it along and turned in such a wonderful team effort and to the bakers for the affa fine cakes. Gold medals all round!
We have our It’s Your Neighbourhood Competition assessment visit on August 18. All GFAA members are invited along on the day to meet with our assessors. We are hoping for a record turnout of plotters. Please come along if you can manage.
We have a power of work to do to have the site ship-shape for the visit and so we plan to have an extra Community Sunday session this coming Sunday – August 14 at 11.00 – 12.30. As usual it will be all hands to the wheel with good company to get things done and then a coffee and cake session at the Bothy to celebrate a job well done.
Please come along and help if you can spare the time.
GFAA were part of a Council group at the Duthie Park representing Aberdeen City in the Britain in Bloom competition today. Along with a dozen or so other organisations we were invited along to evidence gardening activities in the City. The judges were very interested to hear of the development of the Primary Plot, our activities with RGU, the planting up of the South Bank and our losing battles with the deer.
