Homepage - My Almost Green Thumb

Hi. I’m Sean, and I have a green thumb. Well...almost.

I love to work in the yard and fill my home with plants and flowers, but I have to admit that I haven't always been very good at it.

In fact, I used to be pretty bad at it. Which is why I created this site. To share my knowledge and experience planting, growing, and decorating with both live plants and flowers, as well as artificial ones.

If you are interested in learning how to deocorate your home, apartment, condo, dorm room, or office using live or artificial flowers, plants, and trees...then this is the site for you.
