Learn How To Have A Green Thumb

Visit UNH's Macfarlane Research Greenhouses' is having an open house Friday and Saturday April 1 and 2.

I've been able to keep a Spider plant alive for over 20 years. It's one of the longer relationships I've had.

But it's an indoor plant. The outdoor one's I have a little more trouble with. If you want to have a greener thumb and get some great ideas on how to spruce up your dwelling, both inside and outside, you should  check out this open house.
