Cullen Community Allotment Association

Earlier this year, the Cullen Community Allotment Association was awarded nearly £30,000 from the Climate Challenge Fund to progress with the allotment project to provide 34 allotments for the communities of Cullen and Lintmill. After nearly three years' hard work by many people, the Association is now delighted to announce that site works are complete, and full access is available from 6th December 2011.

Anyone from Cullen or Lintmill who is interested in renting either a whole plot (approx 18 metres x 9 metres) or a half plot (approx 9 metres x 9 metres) should get in touch with a committee member. Annual rental will be £50 and £25 respectively. Membership packs are available, containing the tenancy terms and conditions, a tenancy agreement, the Association Constitution, a site plan, a carbon footprint questionnaire, health & safety notes and information rgarding the archaeological watching brief.

To view the current allocation of plots (as at 6th October 2011), please click here. There are a few plots still available.

If you are new to vegetable growing, mentoring and advice will be freely available from some of the ‘old hands’. We also have a small stock of gardening tools and equipment for newcomers to use free of charge along with an extensive gardening book library.

Watch this space for updates on our progress - including potential purchase of items such as a club hut, toilet, communal poly-tunnel and pathing!

Watch out also for an official opening sometime in the Spring, possibly by a Government minister.
