Why do we love houseplants so much? A new exhibit at @evergreenmuseumandlibrary looks for answers in the Victorian Era, when the first great houseplant boom kicked off. “There’s a huge wealth of studies showing a connection between caring for houseplants—keeping them alive and watching them grow—and happiness,” Fitzgerald says. “The Victorians were motivated to take pride in their houseplants for similar reasons you see in the present.” “A History of Houseplants” is open through June 4, 2023. Admission to @evergreenmuseumandlibrary is free for JHU students, faculty, and staff, JHU Museums members, children under 5, @baltcityschools students, and active military. #houseplants #IndoorPlants #PlantParent #PlantLover #plants #HouseplantsOfInstagram #instaplants
