As song goes "The party's over..." thats a little how it felt after the event on 12th November, at least as one of the organising committee it did. The Glasgow Allotments Heritage Project had a dissemination event on 12th November in the Pearce Institute in Govan, Glasgow. There were stalls from all 12 participating allotments with photos, archive research details, artifacts, maps and much more! The morning was a series of presentations and talks- see here for the very diverse and fascinating talks:

This is a picture gallery showing the insides and outsides of the leaflets for each allotment:

In August 2010 SAGS. supported by the Glasgow Allotments Forum (GAF) was awarded a grant by the Heritage Lottery Fund to research and record the history and stories of Allotments and Community Gardens in Glasgow

Why did we get a grant?

Allotments and community gardens are part of Glasgow's culture and heritage, they are rooted in the land, the politics, industry and the people. The land owners included the Maxwells, the Campbells, the Corporation and the Railways. All kinds of people from different backgrounds and cultures - including labourers, judges, teachers, firemen - cultivate plots. In the second world war we grew leeks, kale and potatoes, today we also grow exotic vegetables and flowers. Our huts reveal the creativity, skill and ingenuity of our community.
