When it’s cold and dreary outside, turn to seasonal potted plants and flowers to brighten your indoor setting. These instant mood boosters provide moisture, fragrance, oxygen, and an added element of color and warmth to your abode during the winter. Bonus: many are budget-friendly and easy to care for. 
If you’re searching for some new plant friends to bring home this season, take a trip to Park City Gardens (4459 N Hwy 224), where dozens of indoor plants and flowers bloom year-round inside their large greenhouse.

Owner Sophy Kohler ranks orchids, anthurium, and holiday cacti as great choices for indoor dwelling. Orchids and anthuriums provide long-lasting blossoms, while Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter cacti are named for the time of year in which they bloom (and if cared for properly, they can live for decades). Snake plants and bromeliads are excellent choices for homes lacking natural light and are wonderful air purifiers. Succulents are popular with homeowners looking for plants that don’t require regular watering. 

While you’re at Park City Gardens, pop by the Garden Café for specialty coffees and locally made treats. Enjoying a java in the greenhouse is a wonderful antidote to the cold and early evening darkness of  winter.
