Green Thumb

My father and I are known to have the green thumbs in the family- we love to garden. In this photo, my father is holding one of our many spider plants in his hands (we have so many in the house because they are so easy to propagate). Spider plants are one of my favorite house-plant because they are just so simple to take care of.
