Nathan Schwartz Aussie Green Thumb

Hey, I'm Nathan, team member at Aussie Green Thumb since 2020. I have a passion for edible plants and Australian native plants, both in the garden and in the Aussie bush. As an avid traveller and camper, I love seeing the different landscapes and flora that Australia has to offer, and try to incorporate this into my own daily living. Whether I am living on the road or in an apartment, working with practical and usable gardens in small spaces is my specialty.

Lorri Hopkins

Aussie Green Thumb, meet the team, Lorri Hopkins

Hello Aussie Green Thumb community 🙂 I am Lorri from South Australia and proud to be collaborating with the wondering team here at AGT to bring you practical gardening advice for Aussie gardens.

I have been gardening and growing vegetables since before I could walk, and the joy of spending time in my family garden with loved ones lead me to start my own hobby farm many years ago. I get to enjoy the fruits of my gardens daily and also volunteer at my local garden centre.

I started with Aussie Green Thumb as a fun project, sharing gardening advice with the team and collaborating on a few articles. Now my main role at AGT is to review the information provided here to ensure we are covering all bases and providing the best advice we can to gardeners all over Australia.

Jarratt (Jim) Horton

Meet Jim at the Aussie Green Thumb team

Hi, I'm Jim; I work on a farm in Dunalley, Tasmania, and took over the reigns of Aussie Green Thumb in 2014 from James Middleton, who built this website over a few years to what it is today (thanks James!).

I'll be bringing in other passionate gardeners to share their stories, and would love to hear from you if you want to join the Aussie Green Thumb community!

Clint Sandoval

G'day, I'm Clint, and I've been helping Jim run Aussie Green Thumb since the start of 2015.
I'm a professional horticulturalist from NSW with qualifications and experience in gardening and landscaping, urban greening, bush land restoration, arboriculture, and production horticulture, in both commercial and residential situations. I try to use these skills with my experiences working on some of Australia's most famous gardens and flower displays to help all our readers create their own patch of paradise with gardening tips and tricks anyone can achieve.

Like Jim, I've got a passion for growing our little community here, and am always keen to help out with any questions you might have. So get in touch if you've got a curly one or even some tips of your own you'd like to share!

James Middleton
