Inspiring sustainable agriculture, food sovereignty, and ecological stewardship.
Funding secured for our new parking and access area
We’re delighted to share that Gamrie Gardens CIC has been awarded £15,860 from The National Lottery Community Fund to create a dedicated parking area and improve access to the gardens. This is a big step towards making Gamrie Gardens more welcoming and accessible, opening up more opportunities for allotment growing, volunteering, workshops and community visits. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way! We’re aiming to have works completed and new allotments open by early spring 2027
Who We Are
Gamrie Gardens is a volunteer-led community growing project in Aberdeenshire, rooted in biodiversity, local food access, and practical ecological stewardship. We provide organic allotment spaces, share beyond-organic produce and plants through our donation-based honesty shop, and create hands-on opportunities for people to get involved in regenerative growing, habitat creation, and community-led land care. From rescue animals and orchard planting to ponds, tree planting, and wildlife-friendly growing, Gamrie Gardens exists to nourish both people and place.
We have a limited number of allotment plots available for 2027. If you’re looking for a space to grow food organically, alongside good people and a thriving landscape, and to be part of a wider community project, get in touch to find out more or come and have a look around.
Planning permission approved for new parking area
We’re really pleased to share that planning permission for a new parking area at Gamrie Gardens has officially been approved.
It has taken over 15 months from starting the process to receiving the final decision, so reaching this point feels like a very meaningful milestone for the project.
The new parking area will help improve access to the gardens and support the site as we continue to grow. Better access will make a real difference to the day-to-day running of the project, and to the experience of those visiting, volunteering, and growing with us. Read more…
