Our top 10 plants!

It's March 1st and do you know what that means?!


It's time for spring!!

March is my favorite month - I love to watch the trees bud out and everything just seems to come alive. March is usually when things start to grow (including the weeds).

But it's also a good time to start thinking about adding some plants to your yard.

I recently read about the benefits of plants:

"Mental Health.  Studies have proven that people who spend more time outside in nature have better mental health and a more positive outlook on life."
People who spend more time outside in nature have a significantly more positive outlook on life than people who spend a great deal of time indoors. Communing with the natural world increases people’s feelings of vitality and energy, and consequently has a large positive effect on their overall mental health. Being outside around trees and ornamental horticulture is proven to improve people’s mental health, and give them a more positive outlook on their lives. People who spend time outside every day are less likely to be depressed or stressed, and thus have fewer burdens on their mental health.
