About GreenBeet

Nonprofit fundraiser by day; book-reading fiend by night; plant-hugging backyard farmer early in the morning: this is GreenBeet. I still play with crayons because I love colors. Green, like the planet, is my favorite. Art makes me smile. I get giddy with glee over seed catalogs. Attempts at reducing my environmental footprint offer adventure in my world. I can only afford to own it if I find it at the local thrift store, and by golly, I love a good thrift store. Sacramento, get ready to green it up GreenBeet style! Let the fun begin!
