Happy National Houseplant Appreciation Day!
Meet our lovely Kathy who has filled our office with beautiful plants! 7 years ago the office didn't have any and now we have over 30! Kathy has introduced a lovely mix of plants. Research suggests that the greatest benefits of indoor plants are through wellbeing and productivity improvement and Kathy mentioned the spider plant is known to improve air quality. Kathy is the go to person when someone has a plant that needs reviving - having helped many a colleagues plant from orchids to spider plants. Anthurium is her favourite plant, and here at HILS we appreciate Kathy's efforts making the office a lovely green calming area. Thank you Kathy.
