Each year, as the temperatures begin to cool, we are steadily driven indoors out of Ohio’s unpredictable weather. This year, rather than wishing for spring so you can be outside once again, bring the outside in. Studies show that having house plants or flowers in your room can lift your mood, improve your room’s air quality, reduce the effects of allergies (avoid plants with pollen and spores), and prevent your room from becoming too dry during the colder months.
