When I first started growing succulents, I had no idea what I was doing. I was sort of curious about the possibilities of growing them in Alaska, which happens to be the most unnatural place for them to live. What started out as a small curiosity of 5-10 plants quickly swelled to about 60 plants in a matter of months. And I hadn't even discovered leaf propagation yet.

 

Over these last few years I have learned about these plants through my own research, trial and error experiments, and consulting a variety of online forums that were filled with other succulent & cacti enthusiasts. 

 

Green Thumb Succulents started out as a way for me to "clear out" some of my personal collection and hopefully introduce some new people into the succulent world. My main goal was to sell plants that I had multiples of so i could acquire new types of succulents for my collection. Our first event was such a success, I almost went home empty handed. We were totally sold out, and I had just started! This moment was when I knew I needed to take the risk, and dive in head first. Now I am a happy plant mom to roughly 450 succulents at any given time between my ever growing personal collection and my designated workshop materials.
