The Health Benefits of Becoming a Crazy Plant Lady.
These benefits are of value to us all the time, and now is a particularly good time to avail of them.

Companies who take their employee’s wellbeing seriously have been introducing plants into their offices for years. They are motivated by studies showing that plants help to boost concentration, memory and attention levels. And they have a calming effect that improves overall productivity.
With so many people now working from home instead of the office, it is no wonder a craving for more plant babies developed. But even if we’re not “working” from home in the business sense, why wouldn’t we want all these benefits for ourselves and our families anyway?
