Hands down, without a doubt, incorporating plants into my office environment has been the best thing I've

done for my mental health throughout my workday, like hands down. And at this point in life,

plant friends, if you have friends who don't have plants in their office, what are they doing?

It's your job as their plant friend to set them up for success because having plants in the workplace isn't just

an aesthetic thing. It's about science, mental health. There are so many studies that prove that

having green and plants in the workplace, increased productivity, decreased stress. Plus,

it's like way more relaxing. So I'm bringing back an episode I did from the archives of Growing

Joy in the Best of Growing Joy series. I did this episode in the pandemic when I really got into

bringing plants indoors. But everything in this episode rings even truer now. As we are living

in a time when we are so screen addicted, we are on our computers all day at work,

we are in buildings, everybody is back to work, they're not in natural settings. And that's when

it is the most important for us to make sure that we are bringing some of the outdoors indoors,

because that's where we're spending a lot of our time. Most of the world spends most of their day in an office or in a workplace. So I hope today's episode leaves you with

some easy strategies to green up your office space. Welcome to the Growing Joy with Plants podcast, where we not only learn how to care for plants

successfully, but how to simply and affordably use our plant babies to cultivate more joy in

our lives by doing so.
