Meet The PGI Green Thumbs
Our Mission
The PGI Green Thumbs, Inc of Punta Gorda, FL is a nonprofit volunteer organization whose mission is to enhance the Nature Park's landscape, creating a place for community enjoyment and education. Green Thumb volunteers have designed and built garden beds emphasizing conservation, native plants and wildlife habitat protection.
​
How You Can Make A Difference...
The organization depends on donors and volunteers to develop and maintain the gardens. For those willing and able to get their hands a little dirty, there are volunteer roles involved in all aspects of plant care - planting, pruning, watering, fertilizing, etc. Each Green Thumb volunteer has the opportunity to define the frequency and scope of their involvement. Some concentrate on a specific park planting bed and take pride in their individual contribution of time and effort. Those with social media skills can assist with our web and Facebook presence. Other volunteers serve in "The Reserves" - called upon occasionally when there's a special need, such as storm cleanup.
​
​Stop by the park any Friday morning between about 9 and 11 AM when a friendly Green Thumb will happily talk about why they enjoy being involved.
Direct questions or interests via email to Info@PGIGreenThumbs.org.
​And for those who appreciate the park but perhaps think they have a Black Thumb, monetary donations of any value provide the capital needed to make ongoing purchases of required supplies possible.
Please consider supporting us with your cash donations, either deposited in one of our collection boxes in the park or by mail sent to 1080 Coronado Drive, Punta Gorda 33950. If you provide your address, a receipt will be supplied. We also welcome online donations via PayPal. Use this QR code or click the "Donate" button:
