Happy National Gardening Day to all our Plant Parents!

It’s no mystery that plants have taken over the world. Since 2019 there’s been an over 30% spike in house plant gardening. In 2020 the search term “buy plants” outranked “buy shoes”. Plants have become more popular than shoes! So on National Gardening Day we want to honor the babies that green up our homes and clean up our oxygen (that’s what they do, right?). Here are easy tips for a plant parent post.

Makeup for Plants

Who doesn’t love a supple, dewy, gorgeous face? The answer is no one and those no one’s include plants! Let’s make sure our green buddies look as luscious and hydrated as possible for National Gardening Day..
