SAGS campaign highlights shortage of allotments

You may be interested to read this article, that highlights the shortage of allotments in urban Scotland. Demand is on the increase as people are becoming more concerned about the quality of their food, and the way it is produced.

We've received a number of enquiries through this website, from people looking for plots on the Ferry Road  Site. So just for the record, if you would like a plot at the Ferry Road site, you need to contact the City of Edinburgh Council, and register on the waiting list with them. You will probably need to wait around two years for a plot, and it will help if you actively contact the council to 'remind' them of your interest at least once every six months. IT also helps if you can be flexible about which site you'd like a plot on too.
