Houseplants: Fears and Favorites with Essex Library Association

Essex Library Association 33 West Avenue, Essex, CT, Essex

Incorporating healthy indoor plants in a home or office can really add a sense of calm and beauty to a space. A big part of growing houseplants successfully comes from choosing the right plant for your space. We’ll talk about light conditions, temperature, watering requirements and how to consider these factors when it comes to plant selection. Stories of houseplant failures, unexpected triumphs and new favorites will be covered. This talk will be presented by Felicia Millett, a plant scientist with the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. Register online at youresseslibrary.org or call the Library at 860-767-1560.
