Inspiring sustainable agriculture, food sovereignty, and ecological stewardship.
We’re currently looking for a few extra hands in the market garden as the season gets into full swing.
This is for daytime volunteers, people who’d like to come for a few hours, get involved, and support the growing of food for our honesty shop (offered on a donation basis to the community).
We’re looking for both experienced growers who can get stuck in and help guide others, and those who are keen to learn and be part of a working, regenerative garden.
This is a flexible, drop-in style of volunteering (weather-dependent), rather than our longer-term stay programme.
If you’d like to spend some time in the garden and be part of it, we’d love to hear from you.
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 2026. 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…
