Our History

GreenThumb Academy was founded by a group of passionate horticulturists who recognized the need for accessible, expert-led gardening education.

What began as a small blog sharing tips and tricks has blossomed into a comprehensive online learning platform that offers courses on every aspect of gardening—from soil health and plant care to landscape design and edible gardens.

Over the years, we’ve grown into a trusted resource for gardeners around the world, with thousands of students joining our community each year.

Community Involvement

At GreenThumb Academy, we believe that gardening has the power to bring people together and make a positive impact on our communities. That’s why we’re deeply committed to giving back and fostering connections that extend beyond our online courses.

We partner with local gardening clubs, community gardens, and environmental organizations to promote sustainable practices and provide hands-on learning opportunities. Our instructors frequently volunteer their time to lead free workshops at schools and community centers, teaching both children and adults the joys and benefits of gardening.

Our commitment to community involvement is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to the beauty, health, and joy that gardening can bring. We’re proud to be part of a larger movement that’s making our neighborhoods greener, healthier, and more connected.
