OHCC GARDEN CLUB

As the chill in the air gets chillier, maybe it’s time to garden inside. The OHCC Garden Club November meeting was about “Happy Houseplants, Happy Home.” Studies have shown there are many ways houseplants may improve your health and wellbeing. We all learned how to be a better houseplant parent.  

 

Our speaker was Linda Stewart, a Master Gardener since 2010. Linda is a retired Registered Nurse where she nurtured babies and moms. When she retired, Linda turned to nurturing plants. We learned about the best environment for your houseplants, how to choose the right ones and how to care for and prevent common problems. Caring for houseplants is a hobby for all seasons.
