A Community Growing Initiative

We were super happy to be be chosen by ACVO and Volunteer Aberdeen for one of their short films featuring volunteer organisations who are playing a part in tackling climate change.
Filming took place in the Community Allotment last week (thankfully a lovely day!). Thanks to Andrew for a great little film! ![]()

We’re pleased to say our website is back working properly again. What do you think of the website? We want to check it’s working ok for you, and that it has the kind of information you expect and find useful. What can we do to make it better?
Please take a few minutes to let us know by filling out our Website Feedback Form.

Apologies. Our website software was updated recently and unfortunately a number of links and other things aren’t working as a result!
We’re working away to get it sorted though, so check back soon!
Update (4/11/21): Website is back working ok!







Great news! We’ve been chosen for Asda’s green token scheme which helps good causes. If we win, we get £500!

As you know OSF is all about encouraging everyone to grow their own food. During 2021 we have given out free seeds and seedling at a number or events, and also to individuals. We need to know how people have got on with their growing, to help us plan future seed and seedling give-aways. If you received seeds or seedlings from us, please complete our short survey – it will only take you 2-3 minutes. Thank you!
3rd November 2021 – The survey has now closed but please feel free to contact us if there’s anything you’d like to let us know.
