If you love gardening and enjoying the great outdoors, the Green Thumbs Garden Club at the Community Garden, 100 McIlwraith Street, Ingham, is the place to be. This community garden is open to everyone, offering a space to plant, nurture, and harvest plants all for free.
The Green Thumbs Garden Club now meets every Friday from 2:30pm, inviting volunteers and community members to dig in, plant whatever they like, and enjoy some fresh air. No experience is needed, just bring some garden gloves if you like, and a willingness to get a little dirty.
The garden is also shared with local organisations including Mental Health Queensland, Selectability, and other community groups, who bring their clients to learn, garden, and connect. Children are welcome too, learning how to plant, water, and care for their own seedlings, and enjoying the harvest of their own fruits and vegetables once they’re ready.
The Green Thumbs Garden Club is run by The Hub, a not-for-profit organisation, and everything in the garden—from seeds and fertiliser to tools—is provided free of charge. The initiative also supports the community by helping address food scarcity, allowing anyone to take home fresh produce. All members of the public are welcome; simply contact the organisers to arrange a time and find out which garden beds are available.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener, a curious beginner, or looking for a family-friendly outdoor activity, the Green Thumbs Garden Club is the place to dig in!
