Nature is said to be God's gift to us. It always brings us a relaxing feeling and also make us happy. We get energized and this decreases our stress. Since nature has a refreshing effect on us I am now starting to grow more indoor plants and have my garden at home.

Gardening is a very relaxing activity and this reduces stress, hence this makes us happy. It is said that looking at green colors has a calming effect, most of the psychological benefits of potted plants have been tied to viewing green, leafy ones.
There are scientific research that says that green leafy plants boost our mood, we also feel better physically when we see plants around us. If we are near indoor potted plants this helps us to de-stress and also helps in our mind relax after a day of stressful work.
My sister-in-law has a beautiful garden at home and she is making gardening her hobby and this gives her a relaxing effect. Here are the photos of the mini garden that my sister-in-law has:
I am getting myself familiar with the names of each plant, this Sand Dollar Cactus cost $7 each or Php350.00, quite expensive for a very small cactus.
I started with this air purifying snake plant that I placed on my office table here at home, it gives me a relaxing feeling while at work.
Now my sister-in-law gave me a few variety of indoor plants to begin my little garden here at home. And I already find it very relaxing taking care of my new plants. There's this happiness that plants give us, it relieves stress and lightens our mood.
