Aberdeen council bosses have awarded nearly £130,000 to support the growth of community allotments.
In March 2017, the local authority earmarked £145,000 to develop projects across the city.
An update on the project reveals £129,000 of that sum has already been shared among over a dozen projects, with nearly £20,000 still available.
The Community Food-growing Programme has delivered communal gardens, growing plots at primary schools and even six bee hives in the city centre.
Earlier this month the capital programme committee agreed to award £6,000 to the Bonnymuir Green Community Trust, which has plans to turn a former bowling green into allotments.
Committee convener Marie Boulton said: “The council and community teams have worked in partnership to deliver the projects and we’re grateful for additional help from volunteers and the donation of items.
“As we continue to build the level of interest, confidence and skills of residents, the programme can only thrive.”
