Farm Helper Volunteering
Our FARM HELPER SESSIONS are a great way to learn valuable skills in growing your own food. Each session is supervised by one of our Green Thumb Farm team.
Community Farm Sessions
We invite you to join our free community farm sessions and enjoy being part of our growing community as we Grow, Learn & Share.
We welcome people of all ages and abilities at Green Thumb Farm. You can be involved in a range of activities from planting, harvesting, seed raising, weeding, mulching, and general garden maintenance. People with disabilities are welcome to attend with their carers, and children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times.
Please consider making a commitment for at least 4- 6 weeks if this is possible as this helps us with our planning and time management as training people for just one session makes it hard on our end.
You simply choose whether you will join our Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday Farm Helper program and click on the links below to register for free!
