I’ll be honest: gardening and yard work have never been my thing. The idea of spending hours in my own backyard, sweating and digging in the dirt, seemed far from appealing—until now.
Having recently become a homeowner, I find myself with a yard to call my own. This newfound sense of ownership—though technically the bank’s—has sparked a desire in me to embrace the great outdoors. I want to dig in the soil, plant flowers, and yes, even wrestle with those pesky weeds.
In my early attempts, I pulled up what I thought was a weed only for my neighbor to tell me it was a flowering bush. Oops! Thankfully, I was able to replant it.
Visiting home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s is a whole new adventure for me. I love DIY projects, but the plant sections can be downright intimidating. There are so many options! Some flowers crave sunshine, others thrive in the shade, and some require a mix of both. With my kids in tow, often crying and hungry, I usually leave empty-handed.
Then I went to see my friend, who had transformed her deck into a plant paradise with succulents in mason jars, vintage mugs, and quirky planters. She casually mentioned that she ordered them all from Amazon and received a delightful package in just two days. No stress, no fuss—she simply started planting them in anything she found lying around.
To my surprise, succulents are quite easy to care for. Plus, they’re affordable, meaning even if I don’t have a green thumb, I won’t be breaking the bank. You can grab a set of 20 for around $40. If that feels like too much, sharing with a friend or neighbor could be a fun way to connect—people still do that, right? (I’m making an effort to be more neighborly.)
These plants are eye-catching and make for great gifts. My friend often gives them away, and they’re always a hit. I’ve managed to snag a couple myself, though it was more of a “I’m taking these because I need them” situation than an actual gift exchange.
So, yes, Amazon has live plants, and they’ll deliver them right to your doorstep—no pants required. It’s a total win.
