Hello Wendrie,Yes yes yes love houseplants; I wasn’t aware it was Houseplant Appreciation Day, or Week - hurrah!
Scarborough
Meeting House has many houseplants, and it’s all my fault. And hirers
who have plants which are now too big for their homes being in plants to
add to the ‘family’.
I look after them.
A hirer
recently said to me ‘you must look after them very well’ and I replied ‘
they look after me very well’ as they are a great upliftment to me.
What
a wonderful post to respond to. Be grateful I’m not attaching
photographs…. I really do love my plants! I feel they make the Meeting
House have a lovely atmosphere �de0a
Oh I am being so restrained at not sending photographs….
In peace and friendship,
Ann

Meeting is the proud owner of a long lived and bounteous Christmas
Cactus. If I had known this thread was starting I would have taken a
picture when I was there today (gas servicing) and yesterday (Kitchen
water heater).
These things seem well suited much of the year they
are plain and then they blossom forth. Like Esther's plants, I think
they thrive on neglect. The one person who appeared to take an
interest put a notice on it saying Keep Off (or something).
On
an almost related subject a while ago when we were discussing the
garden with a garden designer we said one of the features we wanted was
'something pretty to pick for the table in the centre of the room' all
the year around.

Hello Wendrie
New Year's greetings to you too.
We have house plants in our Meeting House.
I look after them (when away they look dried out by the time I return).
I
am impressed with myself and the area of negligence as Poinsettias love
you to ignore them and leave them in one place, with little fuss. I
have had one for 3 years now, purchased in TESCO so far from a lovely
garden centre,....and it has survived all these years!
I bought another from TESCO and it seems happy too..
i would always welcome more plants, I buy cut flowers too as it brightens up the place and many hirers comment on this.
Kind regards,

Hello,
Happy New Year to all!
I've
been informed by my calendar that today is Houseplant Appreciation Day.
No, I'd not realised there was such a thing either... When I mentioned
this to a gardening friend she said her local garden centre was busy
celebrating Houseplant Week all week.
Several
of the buildings I manage do have plants inside - in one instance cared
for by the nursery who involved the children in watering and potting up
spider plants and bulbs to take home. Kingston QMH has a tree inside
which is looked after by the gardening group.
So my question to you all is does your building have plants inside?
If so, who looks after them?
If not - would you like any?
