I have a garden that is very water efficient, so it looks great in the warmer months, but it can become a little overgrown and wild in the colder months. I might not spend as much time out there in winter, but I still like it to look good. I have been working on the garden design to help it look good all year round, and I have found that with the right plant selection and preparation, the garden can look great throughout the year. This blog has tips for other homeowners who are looking to improve the appearance of their garden when the weather gets wet.

Are you looking to freshen up your kitchen and enhance the living space it provides? There's nothing simpler and easier to do than to purchase a bouquet of fresh flowers from a florist or from the marketplace to put in your kitchen and liven up the place. You can even arrange to have fresh flowers delivered weekly or even semi-weekly from a florist if you wish. Flowers can do a lot for your kitchen. They can make your kitchen smell amazing, be used to make tea whenever you have any free time and even improve the indoor air quality. Here are 3 types of flowers that you might be interested in.
Scented Geraniums to Add More Fragrances
Scented geraniums are able to offer a myriad of various fragrances for your kitchen. They're relatively easy to care for and come in many different scents. You can keep a bouquet of them on the dining room table or even by the sink to freshen up your kitchen. Citronella gernaiums, for example, give off amazing citrusy scents, like limes and lemons. On the other hand, a bouquet of lady scarborough gernaiums will smell like fresh strawberries. There are a lot more options you can choose from.
Chamomile Flowers for a Relaxing Tea Whenever You Need It
Whenever you have some spare time, you can even make tea from the fresh flowers you have lying around in your kitchen. Keep these flowers by the kettle for easy access. Amongst all of the different flowers that are available, chamomile flowers are one of the best choices around. These beautiful white flowers not only brighten up a room, but they can also be used to make a soothing tea that will help you relax. All you need is to steep 3 to 4 tablespoons of fresh chamomile flowers per every 8 ounce of boiling water.
Peace Lily to Improve Indoor Air Quality
On top of freshening up your kitchen with fragrances and being used to make tea, bouquets of flowers delivered by your florist can also be kept in the kitchen to improve indoor air quality. Oils from cooking can really contaminate the air quality. Peace lilies are the best at improving indoor air quality, as they are able to remove volatile airborne organic compounds, like formaledehyde, trichloroethylene and benzene, effectively. All you have to do is water them once a week.
Conclusion
If you don't already purchase fresh flowers from a florist regularly, consider making arrangements for weekly deliveries to brighten up and liven up your kitchen. You can place the fresh flowers in other rooms as well.
