GROW DUNDEE (Dundee Network of Community Growers) and the BIG GROW projects want to continue to make food growing (and cooking!) more accessible to everyone in Dundee, multiplying the opportunities for people in every neighbourhood.
See our network and events on growdundee.blog and more info about the Maxwell Centre work and the Big Grow on maxdundee.org.uk
We are asking for funding to cover one annual salary so our team can continue to support learning and sharing opportunities across these 2 new and very successful community initiatives to address local climate justice through growing and cooking food, supporting biodiversity and climate-friendly gardens and green spaces across our city.
Each of the 30+ community food growing space in our city as well as 100+ family, community or school growing spaces will benefit from all the garden and wildlife resources, partnerships, training, events, joined fundraising and more. The project officer will organise or deliver:
DUNDEE THE BIG GROW would also be supported by our staff for the next growing season, signing up 100 families, community groups or schools. Some new to growing, some having started recently to learn, grow, cook and share in their community. They will benefit from a community learning programme that includes training in growing, cooking and biodiversity through workshops, newsletters, videos, events, tool borrowing, free seeds and seedlings as well as one-to-one tailored advice for their growing space.
