Following our meeting yesterday (16th October 2021) a few highlights to keep you posted! 

Allotment Produce Stall

A productive, profitable project!

Deemed a great success, thank you to everyone who contributed in one way or another!
The stall raised a grand total of £288.29 for the Allotment Funds

Thanks again! 

Caerlaverock Allotment Cookbook

The Cookbook has been selling well and copies are still available through Vintage on the Nith, The Boathouse and directly through Sue Greig.

Thank you to everyone who has bought a copy (or a few!).

A cracking Chr*stm@s present idea – at A5 in size, ideal for posting! 

The Cookbook has raised a terrific £660 to date! 

Vacancies

There is now a half-plot available for use! 

There are so many benefits to ‘allotmenteering’:

  • Growing your own fresh, fruit, veg, flowers and/or herbs
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Getting out and about
  • Seasonal, nutritious produce
  • Exercise
  • Meeting new people
  • Keeping active
  • Local, organic produce without the supermarket price tags! 
  • Company
  • Good, honest dirty fingernails!
  • Purpose
  • Enjoying nature…

To name a few…

If you are local, or have strong connections with Caerlaverock and fancy a half plot (10m x 5m) please do get in touch:

Ideas

As a community site, we are keen to find out what you would like to see at the allotments. You are welcome to come for a wander around the site and a wee sit down for a think whilst you’re there.

What could we do with the site to add another dimension?

Tell us your ideas – big and small!

Would you like to see any aspects developed for community use?

What can we improve, include, initiate?

You don’t ask, you don’t get! (You might not get anyway, but at least you asked!)
