Compost – a how-to guide
Our lovely friend and volunteer Adrian, who also happens to be a Master Composter, has written a great ‘How-to Compost’ guide. In it he chats through… why it’s good to make your own compost… how to make compost… what to compost… where to make compost… and what to do with your compost once its ready! Check it out here.
Get Growing Onions and Garlic
Even although it’s November, you can still Get Growing! Try planting some onions and garlic now, for harvesting in the springtime or early summer. Check out our onion and garlic growing guides!
Co-op Community Fund
We’re lucky to have been chosen again for the Co-op Local Community Fund in 2024. 
If you don’t already have a Co-op card you can become a Member by joining online at www.coop.co.uk/membership . It costs £1 to join but (at the same time as raising funds for us) you’ll get weekly money-off offers, and also special member-only discounts. So should be a win-win for both of us!
Once you’ve got your membership, choose One Seed Forward (cause ID: 77483) as the cause you’d like to support. Each time you then shop and swipe or scan your membership card, you’ll be helping to raise funds for us!
You can view our fund-raising page at: https://membership.coop.co.uk/causes/77483
Thank you! As a voluntary organisation we depend on fund-raising to continue our work – supporting and encouraging all ages to grow their own fruit and vegetables.
A Green Halloween
As an active member of NESCAN (North East of Scotland Climate Action Network) we were delighted to be asked to put together a newsletter with ideas for a greener Halloween. The newsletter is full of great pumpkin, crafting and gardening ideas – you can view or download a copy here.
Launch of Community Garden Training Programme
We were delighted to launch our new Community Garden training programme at the Bonnymuir Green Food festival on Saturday.
Our first programme will run for 6 weeks in Aberdeen starting in September. This programme will be free to participants thanks to funding from the Asda Foundation. For more information see our Community Garden Training Programme flyer.
