Draft Allotment Strategy - Land and Environmental Services are looking at ways to make Glasgow's allotments the best they can be. Further information

 
Allotments

There are 26 allotment sites within Glasgow, of which over half are managed by Glasgow City Council. The remainder are managed by individual allotment associations.

Glasgow City Council, together with existing allotment associations and individual tenants, is very proud of the standard of its allotment sites.

Benefits

There are many benefits to be gained from renting an allotment:

• Socialising - it's a great way of meeting like minded people
• Relaxation - you can escape the hustle and bustle
• Exercise - you work your plot as hard as it suits you
• Economical Food Production - you can grow many vegetables and fruits from seed
• Organic Food - you know how your food has been grown
