plants

If it's time to spruce up the outside (or inside!) of your house, you can grab some new plants this weekend.

Poisonous plants may be closer than you think.

Every year New Bedford city officials pledge themselves to planting over 500 trees.

Plant Nite Providence and Plant Nite Boston are taking over my Facebook newsfeed. The beautifully decorated bowls and wooden planters are filled with multi-colored sand, shells, and flora. They're also accompanied by a glass of red or white wine and smiling faces...

The lettuce being served up at UMass Dartmouth is coming out of an old shipping container, but this stuff is just as fresh, maybe even fresher, than the greens that come out of the ground.

Even for those of us that are typically not plant people, we usually end up with some sort of greenery, plants or flowers in our home around the holidays. But for those of us with pets, we have to be careful what kinds of plants we're keeping around, because some of them could be toxic to our animals and we may not even know it.
