| With all the crazy in the world around us, we are lucky to be here every day at the Nursery surrounded by plants. As we have mentioned, there are so many benefits to adding plants to your interior or spending time outside in nature. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits. Concentration & Memory Being around plants has been shown in multiple studies to improve concentration and memory. People who are around nature performed better and with greater accuracy. Attention span and memory performance can benefit by being in a natural environment which helps to successfully complete tasks.  Plants and Flowers Generate Happiness It goes without saying that having plants and flowers around improves people’s moods. That’s why we send them to our friends in the hospital! The natural aesthetic is soothing and reduces stress levels. When stress levels are lowered, your positive energy and outlook grow. They offer pleasing visual stimulation and an increase in perceived happiness which helps improve overall mental health. Health & Recreation Being inspired by your natural surroundings can increase desire to move. Your body and mind benefit from continued movement and physical activity. Increase physical activity makes you less susceptible to physical ailments and more resilient when a minor illness comes along. The soothing powers of just seeing plants help you heal more quickly when illness does occur. Improved Relationships People who spend time taking care of plants are more likely to have better relationships with others. Taking time to think of someone or something and their needs instead of your own develops compassion and empathy. Extended contact with nature encourages people to want to better their environment and the people in it. We would love to help you find a way to be “under the influence” of plants. |
