If you work in the sector, are setting up your own site or are just interested in getting further into the world of community gardening, this is a great place to start! We are particularly interested in applications from individuals based in and around the Oxford area.

(Learners do need to have volunteered or worked in a community garden. You need to have an understanding of community gardens by having involved yourself, rather than just an interest)
