10 Green Thumb Instagrammers You Should Follow

August 15, 2017

Ranunculus reminiscent of winter sunsets. Sills crammed with lush ferns, trails of verdant pothos, and springy, spongy moss. Peaceful rock gardens and azaleas framed by towering hedges. I sow my Instagram feed with dozens of plant-focused accounts. Whether photos come from cramped apartments or sprawling nurseries, I love learning pruning tips, planting seasons, and potting basics. Creative arrangements and color combinations inspire my own bouquets and plant collections. Gardeners across the globe give me confidence to clone my succulents and cut back my money tree.

With more than 13 million #plants out there, diving into the Instagram forest can be a little intimidating. But no fear. Here are 10 green thumbs we’ve picked just for you. Give them a follow for a better, brighter Instagram.
