Celebrate National Houseplant Appreciation Day
Is your house feeling a bit bare now you’ve un-decked the halls? Have the lights, trees and tinsel left a hole in your interiors? Why not brighten up your home with a piece of living décor this National Houseplant Appreciation Day?
Remember, not only do they look beautiful and add a touch of nature to your space, but houseplants also have numerous benefits for your health and well-being. From improving air quality by filtering out toxins, to improving mood and productivity; filling your space with plants has been statistically proven to reduce stress and improve your mental and physical health.
Convinced? Go ahead, get green-fingered by treating yourself to houseplant from one of Salisbury’s great plant & flower shops:
