Springburn Allotments

Springburn Food Hub has two fantastic community allotment spaces within Springburn allotments; one a focused children’s gardening space, the other focused on volunteer gardening.

We have weekly volunteer gardening sessions, as well as hosting gardening education sessions, children’s gardening sessions, and partner group work. We are keen to make this safe, green haven available to the Springburn community – to learn to grow your own vegetables, to help with our community growing activities, or simply to enjoy being outdoors in nature.

All the produce we grow is available to the Springburn community. We use it to cook our community meals, and any surplus is available to take home and cook.

Throughout the year we run workshops and events. Keep your eyes peeled on our website and social media pages to stay updated on new courses and workshops such as food growing, composting, upcycling, landscaping and family-friendly events.

Our gardening sessions focus on enhancing individual’s overall well-being, building skills, confidence and countering social isolation. Furthermore, valuable skills are gained; as well as a sense of purpose and increased ownership of the community gardens. These sessions are a welcoming space providing support for community members who are grappling with mental ill health such as anxiety, agoraphobia, depression and PTSD; as well as community members in addiction recovery; people with learning difficulties; and people who are neurodivergent.
