Elgin Allotments Association

About

We are here to assist individuals and groups to try and get land to grow fruit and vegetables. With this we try to support and help with workshops and trying to teach people skills that they may not have. We also try to encourage recycling, organic growth and promote and encourage the wildlife around us. To achieve the above. we attend meetings with other groups in the area that have not secured land yet to give advice and help them in the process to try and gain an area to grow food. We are also in close communication with the local Council to help at some of the meetings that they may arrange. We also attend seminars to learn how to gain funding to try and advance our Charity and improve our facilities. For wildlife we have built insect hotels, have planted a mixed species hedge, built some small ponds and have a wild flower area. We actively look for material to recycle and also receive some material from the public to save going into landfill.
