One of the best things about spring is the chance to rethink how both your indoor and outdoor spaces look. Along with a deep clean, we’re also busy imagining how we want to plant our garden beds this year, or strategizing how to best organize our kitchens. We’re bagging up old clothes for donation and making room in the closets, sweeping away the last of winter and in general giving everything in our homes a refresh. Here at Blossom Flower Shops, we believe that while it’s great to pare down and prune out, it’s just as important to bring some new things into our homes. Namely, plants.

Plants serve our desire to purify our homes for the season so well because of their tremendous health-giving benefits. They oxygenate the air and help to clear it of toxins. They’re also a huge opportunity to connect with nature inside our homes, where we may need some living, breathing green most. In our view, the best way to get some refreshing plants stat into your kitchen or family room is to pick up a Spring Flowering Plant Basket. What we love about this option is that you get several plants and the additional feature of flowers. So you get the green, the color, the variety and a fresh new piece of decor all in one.

You could also stow this in your doorway entry area on a garden shelf, or set it on a deck, patio or porch table. But we love the idea of carrying this straight into the home to enjoy. It will really help set the tone for the season.
