Why should you grow plants?


Gardening is relatively inexpensive and a great hobby for someone stuck at home during the pandemic. It gets you outside on watering or repotting days and plants are great for improving indoor air quality and reducing stress. This site makes the plant selection process easier with a quick survey to assess your environment and links to resources for extended care guides.
