What an amazing job done by several village volunteers and OGGS plotters in getting our Polycrub growing tunnels built over the last several months. Now has come the time where we have to think about how we collect the rain water from them!
We would please like to appeal to anyone who may have or knows of somewhere we can get donations of the plastic blue barrels (must be suitable for water collection) to use as the pictures below show.

We would like to thank both the Co-op and all local residents who chose OGGS while doing their shopping! This funding will help us in our efforts to provide a great growing space for veg, fruit and herbs.

On Saturday 18 November, we held a at the Oldmeldrum Co-op store. The store managers from Pitmedden and Oldmeldrum and the regional manager joined us, and we had a great time getting to know each other.

In the photo below we were celebrating with Oldmeldrum Green Growing Space Space. They plan to use the donation to help fit out the inside of the new polytunnels.

We are thrilled to have raised in total £5k that will go to three local causes: Formartine Youth Project, Oldmeldrum Green Growing Space, and 2nd Oldmeldrum Brownies. We thank all the Co-op members and staff who made this possible!
