BANNER: Houseplant Appreciation Day | January 10

After the Christmas tree is put away for another year, we still need some greenery to lift our spirits and what better way to do so than with houseplants. Not only do they provide some greenery during the drab winter months, but they purify the air!

Houseplant Appreciation Day was created by The Gardner's Network to remind us to give our houseplants a little attention and to encourage us to grow and keep houseplants, especially in the winter months.

Happy Houseplant Appreciation Day!
