green-fingered
Gardens flourish effortlessly
Green-fingered describes someone skilled at growing plants, a person whose gardens flourish and whose houseplants thrive: My grandmother was green-fingered—everything she planted seemed to grow.
The British equivalent of American green-thumbed.
The image suggests fingers that have spent so much time in soil they've taken on its color.
