Dalbeattie Community Association to open to visitors as part of Scotland's Gardens Scheme
The site, which can be visited on Sunday, provides 81 plots for local residents to produce their own fruit, flowers and vegetables.
Dalbeattie Community Allotments Association will be open to visitors on Sunday as part of Scotland's Gardens Scheme.
Since a local landowner leased the site to the association in 2010, it has gone from strength to strength and now provides 81 plots for local residents to produce their own fruit, flowers and vegetables.
Inflation and pressures on household budgets ensures that there is always interest in growing your own veg but the emotional and social benefits are equally pertinent.
The DCAA plays a huge part in the life of many in Dalbeattie and is a friendly and welcoming place to visit.
Visitors will be able to stroll round the site, chat to the members and relax with a cup of tea in the community area.
Information regarding the story of the development of the site will also be on display.
