    The Little Green Thumb sessions have been a LIFESAVER for my SENSORY SENSITIVE CHILD.

    The facilitators have a beautiful, peaceful presence and the space is always exciting. We love it!

  • Growing Made Simple

    This playgroup has been brilliant. I'm so glad we've been able to come along. It's a BEAUTIFUL, WELCOMING COMMUNITY. Mary, Jasmine and Deb have been so generous and kind with their time and knowledge.

    My kids have learnt so much about gardening, fruits, veg, sharing, imaginative play and cooperation.

    Thank you for allowing this to be something we could come to!

  • Growing Made Simple

    We love Little Green Thumbs. The weekly activities and learnings about gardening/permaculture that we can bring home to our own home. Most of all we love the community and connection with Deb, Mary and Jasmine and all the LIKEMINDED FRIENDS we have met.

    We cannot wait for next year. Thank you Green Thumbs!
