The Worm Man

Hi,

I’m Brian Donaldson, otherwise known as Brian The Worm Man.

I offer a variety of educational and environmental workshops, specializing in both adult training and children's activities.

For adults, my work spans numerous Council Programs, Community Gardens, Horticultural Organisations, and Clubs.

With children, I visit Childcare Centres, Kindys and Schools during term and also with OSHC/Holiday Care programs - providing fun and engaging educational activities for children.

Based at Collingwood Park (4301), I am a full-time commercial worm farmer and educator.

With extensive experience as both an adult trainer and children's activity provider, I am fully qualified to teach Horticulture at TAFE and hold certification as a Brisbane City Council Master Composter.

I collaborate with a range of organizations, including Garden Clubs, Community Gardens, Schools, Early Education programs, Building Developers, and many councils, such as:

• Brisbane City Council (Master Composter, Worms & Black Soldier Fly Facilitator)
• Brisbane City Council Libraries (Adult Workshops & Kids Activities)
• Ipswich City Council (Teachers’ Professional Development Workshops)
• Ipswich City Council Libraries (Adult Workshops)
• Logan City Council (Pest Fishing Education Events)
• Logan City Council Libraries (Kids & Adults)
• Redlands City Council (Environment & Community Fair)
• Redlands City Council Libraries
• Moreton Bay City Council Libraries
• Western Downs Regional Council Libraries (Jandowae, Chinchilla, Miles, Tara, Moonie)
• Lockyer Valley Regional Council (Library Kids & Adults Events)
• Scenic Rim Regional Council (Pest Fishing Education Events)
• And community gardens like Northey Street City Farm, Toowoomba Permaculture and Moree Plains Garden Club (Workshops Facilitator: Worms, Composting & Black Soldier Fly)

Please let me know if I can provide you with a formal price list for your events or if you have any questions. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Thank you again, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,
Brian
