Remember, there is no need for GFAA members to fret about missing Black Friday bargains. Our membership of the Dobies Garden Club Scheme means that 40% discounts on seeds and 10% reductions on other purchases are available throughout the year and as often as you like – as long as you quote the GFAA Discount Code when ordering.
Copies of the Catalogue and Code are available in the Octagon. Please help yourselves.
Order online, by post or by phone – but remember to quote the GFAA code!
Good news!
GFAA has joined the Dobies Gardening Associations Group Scheme. (Please note: this is Dobies with one ‘b’ and not the Dobbies with the local gardening superstore – as owned by Tesco I hear.) Under this scheme, our plotters and volunteers ordering from Dobies will receive a 40% discount on seeds and 10% off other purchases.
Additionally, GFAA will benefit by a further 5-10% from all qualifying orders as a boost to our funds. At a time when we are seeking new ways of finding income sources to sustain our site maintenance activities, we are hopeful this scheme might make a significant contribution – if enough plotters take part.
Easy Ordering and delivery direct to your door
Please note:
Whether ordering by post using the official order form, or by phone or online you must use the official GFAA order code to qualify for the discounts. You cannot claim the discount retrospectively after the event.
Copies of the Dobies Catalogue and the Order Form printed with the unique order code will be placed in the Octagon by this weekend. The padlock combination is the same as for all other GFAA locks. Please help yourselves to a personal copy of the catalogue and order form – Dobies have provided us with one copy per member. In case of difficulty please ask a Committee Member for help.
If you prefer to order online from the comfort of your sofa, please use the code from the printed order form or email Norman (gfaawebhelper[at]gmail.com) for the required code – remember, no code, no discount and no exceptions!
It is one of Dobies Terms and Conditions that we agree NOT to share the GFAA code with non-members. They state they will cancel our group membership if we do not respect this rule.
Thanks go to Len on Plot 74 for alerting us to this scheme.
So, here’s to many happy hours of catalogue browsing!

Our GFAA AGM will be held this Saturday at 11.00 on the RGU Campus. The short formal AGM will be followed by an informal General Meeting that will include a talk by Bruce Taylor from Plot 79 entitled, “Soil Health and how to Improve it”. Bruce has just finished a Masters Degree in Soil Science and has recent approaches and practical experiences to share.
We have moved this AGM to this new time on a Saturday to avoid dragging plotters out on cold, wet, dark evenings as before and are hoping for a big turnout.
See details below.
It’s that time of year when plots begin to change hands. All around the site there are signs of new plotters bringing extra energy to their newly acquired plots. This wee detail on one caught my eye today.
It’s a reminder that identifying your plot (which is a Council requirement) can be very attractive and effective without being expensive.
