In 2023, FARE Lochend Community Allotment were joint winners in the Keep Scotland Beautiful Involving Children and Young People Award, received Certificates of Recognition in the Growing Communities Award and the NatureScot It's Your Neighbourhood Pollinator Friendly Award, and won our 2023 Health and Wellbeing theme public vote.
FARE Community Allotment is home to 4 nursery schools, a primary, a secondary school, Jaggy Nettles Men's Club, Little Oaks after school club and more.
The allotment is more than a garden. It is a sanctuary of learning, connection and wellbeing that has been lovingly nurtured by the local children, families and groups who have made it their own. The allotment has vegetables growing 12 months of the year, with unusual varieties and a rainbow patch of bright colours. The children also enjoy crafting with nature and learning new songs.
In 2022, the group were recognised with a Keep Scotland Beautiful 'Beautiful Scotland & It's Your Neighbourhood' discretionary award - joint winner of the Involving Children and Young People Award.
