You are here: Woodend Allotments

 WAA helped to create Woodend Allotments as an independent group in 2006.  Leys Estate generously agreed to lease a field behind the Barn and planning permission was obtained from Aberdeenshire Council in early 2007.  Funds were raised to pay for deer and rabbit fencing and for a communal shed / summerhouse.  The allotments opened in April 2007 and within two months were fully subscribed.  There are currently some 60 plot holders, plus the primary school and two community groups.

The allotments currently have a waiting list of about twenty people so we are planning to create another field of allotments to the North East of the Barn next year.

If you are interested in having an allotment in 2010, please contact Doug Graham - doug.graham2@btinternet.com

The plots will be open to the public during two Sundays in August from 2 - 5pm:  Sunday 2 August for Banchory Horticultural Society and Sunday 23 August for Scotland's Gardens Scheme (SGS).
