The Jolly Green Thumb opened for business in March 1974 as a tropical plant shop providing only interior plants. In 1975, service was extended to include interior plant maintenance for local businesses, and in 1979 fresh cut flowers were added. Over the past thirty-plus years, the business has increased to handle all facets of both floral, gift and interior plant maintenance businesses. The retail shop is situated in the centre of the medical district, downtown Huntsville, at 400 Governors Drive.
