Green Thumb for Everyone

April 18, 2012


Every Spring when the blossoms are in full bloom we seem to catch a case of “garden fever”. The symptoms? Overly ambitious and down right gluttonous when it comes to buying plants and seeds. This year we kept it simple… annual flowers in the beds and my favorite herbs in pots.

However, after finding some of these gardening gems I think we’re apt to give our black green thumbs one more go!

Some of my favorites listed below are: the Click & Grow system where all that’s required from you are batteries & water. The machine does the rest. Um, hello? Genius.

And how about those adorable Garden Cookies? I know Lil’ Mister would have a blast baking goodies that dual as a growing gift to attract hummingbirds and butterflies! Beyond adorable.

Click the titles below for more details about each product.

    I love gardening! this is a great list. If you don’t mind my asking…what do you use for a collage program to put these collages together for your blog. I love the way they come out! So seamless!

      It’s the little things that are so much fun… like seeing him plant flowers for the first time.
