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, *Esther White* *Quaker House Coordinator* 01752 600760 house.quaker@googlemail.com www.quakerhouseplymouth.org.uk Quaker House, 74 Mutley Plain, Plymouth, Devon, PL4 6LF On Tue, 10 Jan 2023 at 17:06, Wendrie Heywood < wendrie@mindfulbusinessservices.com> wrote:

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?

Yours in peace,
