Garscube allotments are situated on Maryhill Road, Glasgow, between Maryhill Park and Glasgow University's Science Centre.

Our site consists of 100 plots, all of which approximately 35 people indicating how sought after we have become. Communal amenities include the community hut, secure bike shed, work shed, storage container and car park. In the near future we hope to have our composting toilet up and running. re full at present. Plus we have a waiting list of 35 people at present.

We are a friendly association which caters for all, at present we have members from local and surrounding areas, members from the East Park Home, Shawpark Centre, Glasgow Women's Library and Anniesland College. Our allotments are beneficial to all, as working the plots provides vital exercise and is good therapy, especially for those with disabilities. The local community also benefits as the commitment and hard work of all members helps keep the green belt going, as well as, provides areas for wildlife to thrive and native flora and fauna to flourish.

Twice a year general meetings are held to discuss welfare and maintenance of the site, to which all members are encouraged to attend. At these meetings works party will be organised of those willing to give an hour or two of their time to help tidy and maintain all communal areas, keeping these areas safe for all to use. We also have regular committee meetings to discuss what is best for the site and what is needed, all members suggestions are welcome and carried out when possible.
