Deep in the heart of the vibrant state of Alabama, where the sun shines as brightly as the smiles of its residents, there is a group of kids that have swapped their video game consoles for garden trowels. They are the AL Green Thumbs, a band of earth-loving youngsters who take on the magic of nature one seed at a time. AL, or Alabama as it is widely known, is truly a wonderland, with its lush forests, majestic mountains, and sparkling rivers. It's as if Mother Nature took out her favorite coloring book and filled every page with the most dazzling shades of green. It's the perfect playground for the Green Thumbs, a group of kids who love to get their hands dirty, literally. Leading them in their gardening adventures is Mr. McRoot, an imaginary character with a carrot top for hair and soil brown eyes. He has the magical ability to make any plant grow, no matter how stubborn the seed or bleak the weather. His laughter is the sound of rustling leaves and his stories about the mysteries of nature keep the kids hooked, always eager for more. These kids aren't your usual bunch. They believe that mud pies are gourmet meals for earthworms and that every garden gnome is a magical creature in disguise. They spend their days planting and pruning, weeding and watering, creating beautiful gardens that would make any rosebush blush. They have the most fun racing snails, holding sunflower staring contests, and giggling over funny-shaped vegetables. So, if you ever find yourself in Alabama, keep an eye out for a bunch of kids with garden gloves, dirt-streaked faces, and joy-filled laughter. They are the Green Thumbs, the guardians of Alabama’s breathtakingly beautiful nature and they will show you how the magic of gardening can turn even the grumpiest frown upside down.
