Well-mannered, clean, understanding, compassionate, religious, tall, handsome, rich, and the list of what our ideal guy goes on forever that our mother’s shopping list pales in comparison. We have this precious list of qualities we want in a partner. What we leave out is that the person ‘has a green thumb’ or knows how to take care of the garden.

We ask why not when these people can give you these benefits.

free fresh flowers

Green thumbs are very good gardeners who are capable of growing even rare plants. If you are dating one, more often than not, they have a lot of flowering plants in their gardens. You can always use your bae card to choose the beautiful flowers to decorate your home with. This will bring life to your boring bedroom or dreary study space. The best thing about your boyfriend or girlfriend being a green thumb is that these beautiful flowers are free. Imagine how much you will play florists with a bouquet of cut flowers!

The house smells fragrant all day.

Since you are free to choose flowers from your garden, you can always choose those flowers that are really fragrant. An almost limitless supply of these blooms (courtesy of the couple) will make your home smell like thousands of popped flowers. Okay, that’s an exaggeration. But if you have someone who can grow scented flowers, you can always have flowers not only to decorate, but also to make your home smell good. Did I mention that of course these flowers are free? Yes, now join.

Easy flower shopping

Green thumbs also have a knack for reaching out to the local market for great deals on gardening needs. You may not like gardening, but at some point you will need gardening tools and equipment. If you need or your friends need a large quantity of flowers, they will gladly take you to florists that offer flowers at discounted prices. In addition to having someone special in your life, there can be practical benefits to dating that person. Who says dating kills your wallet?

Adorable DIY Plant Projects

If you like DIY projects, you will have a picnic in your partner’s garden. Imagine the craft projects you can make starting with creative and unusual flower pots, flower petal pressing, landscaping. I bet you can see yourself immersed in the garden with your partner doing crafts.

When DIYs aren’t your thing, having a gardening buddy will introduce you to gardening. You will learn and enjoy a lot. This feeds your relationship, but also your soul.

I’m definitely sure you brought the list of ideal high school boyfriends to “green thumb”.
