At Green Thumb Farm, we believe in making a tangible difference in the lives of children and families through our hands on farm programs that inspire, educate and impact.

When school children, families and adults from right across SEQ visit Green Thumb Farm, they get hands on experiences of organic farming, composting, and sustainable agriculture that can change their trajectory for life.

ABOUT US We are a not-for-profit, and we value working with volunteers who share our big mission of rekindling a love for locally grown food in people and especially children!

ALL ABILITIES WELCOME The nursery role can be done sitting down on a seat, or stool, so it will suit people with mobility issues. It is a rewarding role, as it brings so much pleasure to see the seedlings growing up so happy. We don't use any chemicals or sprays, everything is organic, and it feels so good being around the happy plants!

You don't need any previous gardening experience, just a willingness to learn and to follow instructions and ask for guidance if you need it.

WE SHARE OUR ABUNDANCE We invite our volunteers to share in our produce at the end of a shift. Imagine going home with some fresh veges for dinner, a bunch of flowers, or some seedlings to get your own garden going. So beautiful.
