Hey Northshire community
If you know me, you know I love plants and always have. Over the last few years, I have found that they have helped me immensely on so many levels.
With COVID, as we are all aware, so many things that bring joy to our lives have been limited. That even includes access to house plants/pots for indoor as well as outdoor.
I decided I want to set up a shelf. I will be breaking up some of my own, and putting out plants that I have already been divided. The idea is, if you need a little something to brighten your day or your house, grab a plant! If you are interested, and have plants around that you want to divide and make more babies, leave the babes for others to enjoy and give someone a smile! For anyone who doesn’t know how to divide, I’m happy to help! Trades are also welcome If you have extra pots laying around, I’d love to take them off your hands for more transplants!
One thing I keep thinking about, is that seasonal depression is very real. With COVID, this winter could be a doozy for some (myself included), and house plants can do wonders
• For anyone that will be picking up a plant, know these guys are established babies but not fully mature.
• All will continue to grow, and with certain varieties they will produce more babes for you to enjoy, and maybe spread next year .
• Every pot I used is different, so please be aware of drainage holes not only to give proper watering, but to also save your furniture .
• Each one is perfectly imperfect
• I will have the shelf set up mid week in attempt to keep them local and within our community.
• I am limited thus far, please only take one and keep others in mind. Not all of us are in the same boat
• Please put sheer back over shelves in order to protect some of the plants from the sun
Thank you and be well!
