Caring for houseplants makes for a great hobby during those long inclement nomths and even throughout the year. Many gardeners refuse to twiddle their green thumbs as the long winter months keep them indoors. Rather, they actively extend their gardening pleasure through those long winter months. The benefits of indoor gardening are numerous. Indoor plants also brighten the room, providing a cheerful sight for those grey and often dreary winter days.
Indoor plants are an important part of decor in homes, offices and other buildings.
By the way, I am sure you will agree that plastic indoor plants and shrubbery are no substitute for the real thing. And, another big benefit of indoor gardening is there is nothing more relaxing than gardening. Many plants in your outdoor garden make for good indoor houseplants too. Start planning early to identify what plants you want to bring indoors when fall arrives. Shop for soil and containers well before the season is over and while the selection is good.
