Ideas for Decorating with Plants

Plants are one of the most multi-purpose things we can bring into our homes. They improve our air quality, bring color and life to a space, and sometimes even provide us with food or flowers. They're also a great way to decorate an empty corner or an open space that needs a boost...

I'm a big fan of window herb gardens all over the house (for the smells) and window flower boxes. Love 'em.
