Kennyhill Community Allotments are amongst the oldest in Glasgow, with records going back to 1917. Despite being a second home to many generations of growers, the allotments have seen their share of ups and downs. By the early years of this century, like many allotment sites, the place was starting to look a bit care worn. However, in the past decade the committee has worked tirelessly to encourage new internet in allotment growing and to find ways to bring derelict plots back into cultivation.
All plots are now let, there is a healthy, and more importantly a genuine waiting list and there is starting to be a new buzz about the place.
Our plot holders range from newbies who are learning as they go, to old-timers who are a fount of wisdom: they know their land and the Glasgow weather.
The Riddrie Community Gardens has its home on the site too, with many groups enjoying the facilities that the gardens offer.
At Kennyhill, we are committed to bringing the plots into the twenty-first century whilst valuing its old-world charm.
