This is the perfect place to buy plants to decorate your apartments in Tang. The plants are often very reasonably priced and super convenient being right on campus. <br><br>I encourage everyone to buy a plant for their room, not only are plants aethetically pleasing but they will also make your living space healthier (see TED talk: <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/kamal_meattle_on_how_to_grow_your_own_fresh_air.html" target="_blank">http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/kamal_meattle_on_how_to_grow_your_own_fresh_air.html</a>), which is important with fall already coming around the corner and winter following soon after. When buying plants for indoors, I encourage you talk to the people selling the plants to ask which ones grow best inside. Indoor plants typically do not need to be watered often (just once a week) and do not need lots of sunlight. Outdoor plants typically will not survive inside because there is not enough sunlight and will often cause disappointment. Some good examples of indoor plants are listed in the TED talk and can also be easily googled, "indoor plants."<br><br>Ellann Cohen,<br>Tang Gardening Chair<br><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
