A well-known English proverb says: “My home is my castle”. Really, all the ways are leading to a native house, a place where a person has an opportunity to relax, enjoy the things which he likes, communicate with the dearest and nearest, stay alone or meet friends.
Plants at home and outside
The say, that a person feels easy at home. What could create this easiness? We were speaking about the psychological atmosphere and energy, the space and the colours, the interior and the furniture. We even touched the topic of the pets at home. It is high time to speak about the flowers.
My dream in the childhood was to have a house somewhere outside the city with a big garden, the bushes of strawberries and cranberries outside the windows, the braches of jasmine and honeysuckle which are looking at my windows in the morning and smell so wonderfully that it is seems – I am in the paradise. My dream is just a dream until now. Anyway, therapeutic and healthy influence of the flowers and other plans is a science reality.
As a main idea of a home improvement is making your house a place for relaxation, a person is able to do everything possible in order to create the conditions for relaxing. For example, some people enjoy playing with the pets or devote some time to cooking as these activities make them feel better. So, the planting is one of these relaxing activities as it is a very calm leisure that requires attention and diligence. The result of this work is pleasant too. Actually creation of beauty with your own hands is something that pleases an eye. Flower aroma could be helpful as smells activate those parts of the brain which are responsible for pleasure and enjoyment. A right choice of the plans is important. While the programmers used to put the cactuses at their tables, more tender and odorous flowers are recommended for the living-rooms. The tastes could be different, but at least the plants please visually. Perhaps somebody's exclamation "These flowers make your house so nice and cosy" will be an additional pleasure in a life.
