Welcome to Kennyhill Community Allotments

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, the place was starting to look a bit care worn. However, maybe this is also part of its charm. A number of the run-down plots have been taken over 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.
