Welcome to Stonehaven
Who Are We?
We are a group of like-minded people living in and around Stonehaven, who have joined together over the past 4 years, to try to get allotments reinstated in Stonehaven. We have a written Constitution, and aim to be inclusive of the wider community. We encourage growing organically.
Why Would I Want an Allotment?
Allotments have declined, and been built on since the war - but they are making a comeback!!
They are a good way of:
· Saving money by growing fresh, organic produce (which can be expensive in supermarkets)
· Reducing your food-miles and carbon footprint
· Getting healthy exercise
· Meeting people
· Spreading the message that growing your own is easy, cheap and fun!
Why Should I Join?
The group is at a crucial stage, with on-going discussions with Aberdeenshire Council and private landowners with a view to the acquiring a suitable site. By joining, you give us a louder voice with our local elected representatives and Council staff and can help in our decision making process.
How Much Does It Cost?
Annual membership is £10. For this you get to attend meetings, hear from guest speakers, receive mailings, and go on our waiting list. This also pays for our membership of The Scottish Allotments and Gardens Society (SAGS).
