Spring is the season for new beginnings and growth. You can bring the beauty of the season into your living space by adding plants or flowers. Place them in unexpected places, like your bathroom or laundry room, to add an interesting touch to the area.

Rosie of Literally Rose emphasizes that "by being rooted in nature, it allows one’s soul to heal from the cold elements of the winter months." Foliage is affordable, rejuvenating, and eco-friendly. Jen Nash of Magnet reminds us of the "joy to be found in the mindful act of bringing greenery into your home and helping support your local businesses in the process."
