If you do then please either come along to the meeting at the Ormlie Centre in Thurso at 6.30pm on Sunday 8th May, or send me a PM, or email allotments@thurso.org.uk or call / text 07527053047

If you know any gardeners, or wannabe gardeners please let them know about it. We're trying to leaflet every house in Thurso, but that is a big job for a very small team.

There's also an article in todays Caithness Courier with details.

Good for you; nothing like fresh vegetables to enhance a meal! It is also a good way of making friends, helping each other out, having a laugh and getting good exercise!

For anyone interested in the Highland Councils attitude to allotments you could take a look at the policy adopted in December 2009 (http://www.highland.gov.uk/socialwork/healthimprovement/allotments/)

Another thing that could be brought in (something that was a big thing where I used to live) is the development of brownfield sites for cultivation. A shared earth policy. If someone has a bit of ground they don't use they can offer it available for people to use grow on. The gain for the landowner is a handful of carrots at harvest and a sense of satisfaction.
