Welcome to Warriston Allotments 2023
The 121 plots at Warriston, a large south facing site on the north side of Edinburgh, were created for unemployed families during the depression of the late 1920s. Thanks to the city's ongoing allotment policy, urban land (there are over 30 separate sites), continues to be dedicated to local growers renting plots on a yearly basis. The waiting time for a plot at Warriston is least 8 years—if you would like to put your name on the list, or find out more, go to City of Edinburgh Council allotment information. Please do not contact Warriston re renting a plot—we are unable to reply to your enquiry as all city allotments are administered and allocated by Edinburgh City Council. The contact form is for Warriston plot holders only, to share ideas/enquiries/contributions. We regret we cannot reply to enquiries not related specifically to the Warriston site. |
Plot holders' news:The bonfire season is now over till October. NO fires on site till then.
Shredding sessions are over until autumn. PLEASE DO NOT OVERFILL THE BIN! If it is overfilled, they will not pick it up. Please keep your rubbish on your plot (not next to the bin) until there is room. To sign up to the newsletter if you haven't already please contact warristonallotments@gmail.com |
MAY Plant Sale
MAY SALE 2023 Thanks to everyone who donated plants, helped before and on the day, and to the rain for staying away. The new gazebo matured into a busy cafe marquee, there were queues for the best in sale, and there was little left behind. A great day and a now established part of the Warriston calendar. We raised £828 for funds. THANK YOU ALL |
COMMITTEE NEWS

AUTUMN EVENT in September (date tbc) A harvest time event will revive the Warriston Cafe. As well as serving tea and cake in the gazebo, we'll be putting on bowls of warming soup made from Warriston produce.
