Interior Landscaping

Did you know that houseplants and greenery are good for your emotional as well as your physical health? Well-tended houseplants are fabulous accents that give life to your interior spaces, and it’s well documented that houseplants add oxygen to your home and help cleanse the air. More than that, a recent study published in Urban Forestry & Urban Greening reported that of 4,000 participants surveyed worldwide, just under 75% felt that houseplants had a positive effect on their emotional health and mental well-being during the pandemic.

Perhaps you’ve always admired (and been a little envious of) the lush greenery in the lobbies of office and medical buildings. Maybe you’ve tried to create the same type of green space in your home only to discover that you will never have a green thumb. Even the “can’t possibly kill it” plant your mother-in-law gave you fell victim to your lack of horticultural talent. Don’t despair–professional help is available!
