Grow Together Bucks (GTB) is a not for profit, Community Interest Company based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. Our community projects include:

 

• 300sqm Community Allotment in High Wycombe which enables community volunteers to experience the joy and importance of sharing, growing and consuming wholesome food. Any food surplus is donated to The One Can Trust.

​

• Working with schools, creating growing spaces for children and providing practical growing programmes to teach and inspire the next generation to nurture the soil, connect with nature and grow their own food.

​

• Connecting local businesses with schools and community groups in need of help by facilitating, managing and hosting Corporate Volunteering Days.

 

We are seeking a freelance support teacher with horticultural knowledge (or vice versa) to join our team to help teach monthly practical growing sessions to primary children 6-9 years old, in 2 schools in High Wycombe this year. Supported by a Teaching Lead, planned session workshops and knowledgeable Grow Together team, you can share the joy and magic of nature with the children, away from the constraints of formal learning.​

Each monthly class will include two one-hour classes scheduled ‘back to back’.  

​

Sessions run from mid-April to late July 2025.
