Garden Tips Winter 2008
		Grow Some Clean Air
		Well winter is here and the outside gardening activities are on hold for a few months. Some of us will get our gardening fix by browsing the several seed and garden catalogs that begin arriving in our mailboxes each January. If you're the type of person that still wants to get their hands dirty, why not try to grow some clean air with houseplants. Studies have shown that houseplants can be beneficial in removing some pollutants from the air. The following links provide information on using houseplants to help in this process.
