Flower Power

Flowers play an important role in our daily lives. Specifically, research reveals that people feel more compassionate, have less worry and anxiety, and feel less depressed when around flowers.

Study participants who lived in close proximity to flowers, felt an increase in feelings of compassion and kindness. In addition, the study participants simply felt less negative after being around flowers for just a few days. The study also found that people were more likely to feel happier and have more energy and enthusiasm at work when flowers were in their home living environments.
