A Harvard Study investigated the Home Ecology of Flowers and uncovered three main findings: "Flowers feed compassion, chase away anxieties, worries and the blues at home, and living with flowers can provide a boost of energy, happiness and enthusiasm at work." http://www.aboutflowers.com/home_ecology.htm

Additionally, a study conducted at Texas A&M University finds that "nature can hold the secret to business success. The research demonstrates that workers' idea generation, creative performance and problem solving skills improve substantially in workplace environments that include flowers and plants." http://www.aboutflowers.com/workplace/research.htm. Be a part of what this research has shown and start today at Macomb!
