After meeting some fabulous folk… we are still looking!
Please get in touch if interested
Looking for a Grower to join our team, a garden gnome.
Green fingers, good heart, and passion for small scale land work.
Message Doug on 07976589927 to discuss.
This is an exchange role as part of our small-scale woodland restoration project working with a team of foresters out on the land.
There might be some capacity to expand to create more commercial opportunities or funded projects including others, but at present we do not have this capacity.

This sounds like a lovely opportunity for someone who enjoys working outdoors and wants to be part of a meaningful woodland restoration project. A role combining practical land work, growing and community spirit is quite unique, and it’s great to see the project continuing to look for the right person.

This sounds like a really nice opportunity for someone who genuinely enjoys working outdoors and getting involved in woodland restoration. I like that the role seems to be about more than just gardening, with the chance to work alongside foresters and contribute to a longer-term project. The exchange setup also sounds interesting for someone looking for a hands-on experience rather than a typical job. I also came across afkspin while browsing, but this grower opportunity is definitely the part that caught my attention. Hopefully Doug finds the right person to join the team soon.
Such a lovely idea and a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with nature. It’s refreshing to see projects that focus on restoring woodland and building a stronger connection with the land. I hope you find the right person with the passion and care this role deserves. The photo and story really show the kind of community spirit behind this work. Wishing you the best of luck with finding your new grower! https://paripesas.ug/
