Assisting: coordinating the growing schedule with the project manager and help with other general tasks. Sharing skills: helping drop-in visitors by answering questions and sharing tips.

We’re a very friendly bunch and warmly welcome new people on the team. Keen to learn and share knowledge about growing fruits and vegetables in an eco-friendly way. You’ll need to be over 18, please. What difference will you make? Despite being based in the garden, you’ll be part of our pilot project which, if successful, will see versions of The Hub rolled out across the UK, providing a blueprint for others to be shared and upscaled. This is about engagement and encouragement: about trying and learning. We want to make people feel that whatever they can do helps, by learning new skills like gardening to grow their own produce, this is all part of the small everyday changes they can make to help fight climate change.
