Let me be honest: I’ve never really been into lawn maintenance, gardening, or spending endless hours outdoors digging in the dirt. That was, until I became a homeowner.
Suddenly, the idea of having my own yard — a space that feels like it’s mine (well, technically the bank’s) — has sparked a desire to get outside, dig in the soil, and grow some plants. I’ve even pulled weeds, only to be told by a neighbor, “Hold on! That’s a flowering bush!” which led me to replant it instead.
Home improvement stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot are now intriguing to me. I love the thrill of a DIY project, but the plant sections often leave me feeling lost. I want everything, but flowers can be pricey, and each plant has its own requirements for light and care. More often than not, I leave empty-handed because my kids are melting down from hunger.
Then, I visited my friend Clara, who had an adorable collection of plants in mason jars, vintage mugs, and quirky planters adorning her porch. She casually mentioned that she ordered them from Amazon, and they showed up at her doorstep within two days. She effortlessly planted them in containers she had lying around.
Clara wasn’t overwhelmed at all; she told me that succulents are incredibly easy to take care of, and they’re budget-friendly too. Even if I manage to kill a few, I can still afford the mortgage next month. For around $40, you can get a set of 20 plants, and they’re all adorable little additions to brighten up a space. If it feels like too much, you can always share with a neighbor — I’m trying to be more neighborly, after all.
People notice plants like these and often want to take one home. Clara sometimes gives them as gifts, and they’re always a hit. I’ve even snagged a couple of her plants, but in a playful way: “I’m taking these because I need them. Thanks, love you, bye.”
So yes, Amazon sells plants. They’ll deliver directly to your door, and you don’t even need to get dressed to receive them. Winning!
