Camperdown Growing Collective (known as Campy Growers) is a SCIO working in partnership with Dundee
City Council in the heart of Camperdown Country Park. It sits on 8 acres of previously degraded land, 2
acres of which have now been cultivated. This is a unique opportunity to help develop an urban community
food garden using sustainable methods of growing to enhance the environment, local food production and
to work positively with the community. The garden is supported by a small, dedicated staff team,
volunteers and trustees who work together to ensure that our charitable aims are met.
We are looking to recruit a Lead Gardener who is pro-active and organised, with experience of large scale
food growing and systems. They will enjoy interacting with the public and with volunteers of all ages and
abilities, be interested in their ideas in the running of the garden and willing to educate people in food
growing techniques and sustainable growing systems. As Lead Gardener you will be provided with
supervision by a named mentor who represents the board of trustees.
The post is funded for two years through National Lottery Funding.
