5 Indoor Plants for Low Light
The gardens on the Danforth are spectacular. As a newcomer to the area, and as someone who used to work at a nursery, the beautiful gardens and stunning landscapes that made up the neighbourhood were one of the first things I noticed. Even the planters lining Danforth Avenue in the summer are gorgeous.

Still, the frozen landscape doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy our own little gardens indoors. Check out some of the fabulous nurseries surrounding the Danforth (like Kleinburg Nursery) and pick up one (or all) of these hard-to-kill, low-light loving plants. Boston Fern (Nephrolepis…

It’s a great exercise for supercharging all the things you’d like to have happen in the year ahead. First, grab some magazines you don’t mind cutting up or hop on to Pinterest and get ready to do some printing. Find pictures that capture dreams you have.
