Flowers are one of things that make life worth living. A beautiful flower reminds us of the fragility and beauty of life. One minute it is here in all its lush color and prettiness, then soon enough it wilts. But don’t worry: you can just go out and pick some more!

It is well known that green plants and shrubs can improve air quality in your home or workplace, but did you know that flowers have some remarkable stress-busting qualities?

Are you a morning person? There are a heck of a lot of people who would answer no to this question, including me. The problem is that for most of us we have to try and feel positive in the morning, whether that’s for work, school, or family commitments. That’s life! Recent research from Harvard has shown that flowers can improve your mood in the morning, increasing energy and positivity. Participants of the behavioral study reported being much happier after looking at flowers in the morning, particularly if they were in the kitchen. These happy feelings tend to be transferred to others around us when we venture out into the world.

Exposure to flowers in the workplace has been shown to reduce negativity at work and improve memory. A bunch of flowers can also improve creativity. Studies suggest that both men and women working in an office demonstrated more innovative thinking and originality than workers in flower free environments. One of the secrets to productivity is getting a good night’s sleep, and flowers can help with this too. Putting lavender in your pillow is a tried and tested way to improve your zzzzz…..

Having flowers around promotes relaxation and lowers blood pressure, which is the key to dealing with a range of anxiety disorders. Smelling the scent of your favorite flower is an instant way to feel less anxious. Many people recommend taking a good long sniff before an exam or job interview. Watering your flowers also gives you an excuse to take a break from whatever you’re doing, and research suggests regular breaks are vital for mental well being, especially if you lead a very busy life. 

Is your life lacking color? Make room for flowers in your day and you may just see some radical improvements! Why not take a look at some online buyer guides and get your flowers delivered? Then you don’t have to worry about borrowing them from your neighbor’s garden or the local park…
