TAP TO CALL Green Thumb Lawn Care
Lawn Doctor‘s logo derives from the phrase “having a green thumb,” meaning that means Lawn Doctor has a special way with lawn care across the U.S.
Gardners everywhere are familiar with the expression Green Thumb, but what’s the origin and true definition? Like many idioms, nobody can say for sure where this gardening phrase came from. The expression in the United Kingdom is referred to as “green fingers.”
According to one story, a British journalist coined “green fingers” in 1925. According to another version, gardener’s thumbs became green due to algae growing on pots that they handled. One source links the phrase to England’s King Edward I, who allegedly kept many serfs occupied shelling green peas for him to eat, offering a prize to the serf whose thumb was greenest.
But most sources believe that “green thumb” became popular in the early 1900s and derives from the fact that people who are caring for plants frequently get plant materials and chlorophyll on skin and under nails, giving their fingers a green look.
