Growing Communities is helping to 'grow more growers' through our training scheme, which runs from the beginning of April to September every year. Each year we take on around four volunteer trainees who work with our growers Sophie and Ximena, learning how to run an urban organic market gardens. They also help to harvest and pack our award-winning Hackney Salad for the Growing Communities weekly veg scheme, and attend monthly tutorials.
We normally advertise for new apprentices in late January or February.
