Research in this area is, if you will, blossoming. Last month, Pennsylvania State University researchers published a study suggesting houseplants can cleanse indoor air of ozone. They focused on three that are low-cost and low-maintenance - snake plant, spider plant, and a pothos like mine. Researchers upped the ozone levels in ...

Plants add some life to drab office cubicles How does your cubicle By Virginia A. Smith The Philadelphia Inquirer We spend what, eight, 10 hours a day in our grim-gray cubicles at work? They're all alike, with their faded fabric dividers affording no privacy and dirt-brown carpets darkened with hints of soup and soda. But here's a practical road to workplace relief: the cubby garden. "You look around and see a garden flowering. It lifts your spirits," said Marilyn E. ...

Plants are widely used in urban environments, both outdoor and indoor. Only recently, however, have attempts been made to test the effect of plants on human well-being. If scientific studies could bring forward convincing evidence for beneficial effects of plants on human health and well-being, increased interest and priorities for plants might be obtained among decisionmakers and the public in general, and the use of plants indoors could receive an additional dimension to the pure ornamental.

The early Spring is normally our busy show season and between the Go Green Expo NYC and GRSC in Baltimore, it is great to be back home. Beside the busy spring show season it is also time to garden! Personally, my gardens have become my time to relax, and even better an opportunity to involve my family. The kids help plant and my wife makes jam and pickles from what we harvest. Since 3,000 BC families produced crops for their own consumption and some marginal barter. ...
