Bath Allotments Association (BAA) have a number of volunteer opportunities available and would welcome applicants who share our passion for growing veg, fruit and flowers, and have an interest in supporting fellow growers.

The current team are a friendly group who have ambitions to extend the Associations role through bulk purchasing, organising workshops, providing information and resources, establishing starter plots for those new to growing, promoting wildlife habitats on allotments and regenerative growing practice in Bath and beyond.

We embrace partnership and collaborate with a wide group of organisations including Bath City Farm, The Urban Garden, Avon Wildlife Trust, the market garden community, Bath Natural History Society, Bathscape and CropDrop. We are members of Transition Bath and Bath Area Growers.

If you feel that you want to make a difference and you have a couple of hours a week to spare we would love to hear from you and welcome you to the team.
