With students going back to school, my thoughts turn to young people and how to pique their interest in the plant world. Many schools have life lab gardens, and families growing vegetables and fruit trees have a head start.

Some of my houseplants look a little sad. They were forced to give up their regular place for the Christmas tree and table top decorations and the leaves are droopy. They need to be returned to normal where they can feed on toxins. Houseplants absorb toxins from the air in your house. We spend more time indoors in the winter and create more toxins. The plant’s natural anti-toxin job is an important function so let your houseplants work for you to keep clean air in your house.

Boy, are we spoiled, living here as we do.
