The cache is in a private plot in a community garden. It is in a large watertight container, underneath a very large lemon tree! Look for the geocaching logo which I have glued to the side and the back!
Please be very respectful of the other gardeners and their plots. Do not walk in any of the plots, and please do not pick anything or leave any litter. Having said that, this garden is situated in a National Park, on public land, and is open to the public at all times. You have every right to be there! I consider this geocache a community service and an asset to the park, and I personally welcome you to visit the community garden! Please feel free to sit there and have lunch at the picnic tables, and enjoy the surroundings.
As of June 13, 2025 this cache has had 5,903 unique visitors. 21 found it in the last month from May 14 to today. Projecting forward, we may hit 6,000 unique visitors sometime later this year, possibly in November. I'd like to have a picnic in the garden to celebrate 6,000 but it might be cold and rainy then, so maybe we'll have it a bit early, possibly in the first week of October which tends to be the best week of the year, weather-wise, in San Francisco! Stay tuned, I'll announce it here if it's going to happen.
If you are thinking about dropping a trackable here, please know that they do have a tendency to disappear. Not sure why.
As of June 2, 2022 we are getting close to 5,000 unique visitors!
As of May 30, 2017 we are homing in on 4,000 unique visitors!

August 11, 2012 - congratulations to LadyLeo191 who is the 2,000th geocacher to log a successful find of the Green Thumb cache!!! It took just over 8 years for the first 1,000 geocachers to find it, and just over three years for the next 1,000. I don't know if that's because geocaching is catching on, or because Green Thumb is on a lot of "favorites" lists - but in any event - woot!
February 9, 2011 - coming up on 1,500 visitors!
July 12, 2009 - Congratulations to bunkyboo, the 1000th geocacher to log the Green Thumb cache!
July 19, 2009 - met with the delightful bunkyboo family to give them their swag for being 1000th to log the cache. Hopefully they'll log some photos of the "event." Prizes donated by groundspeak.com include book ("The Idiot's Guide to Geocaching") and a really neat geocoin, plus some other stuff.
