I've never had so many houseplants living healthy in my home until after I came in contact with Melissa of Costa Farms. You all know I'm a very busy Mom who enjoys growing in our home greenhouse and sharing the images with the network hoping to inspire but I'm just as excited to share my new found love for the houseplant. Sad to admit that I use to have a few houseplants that were from funerals or from a hospital visit. It is exciting to discover that houseplants are more then just 'well wishes'. I have always been big on growing herbs or having some type of cut flower in my interior and even a few silk arrangements just to add a splash of color on those drab winter months. Today I have over a dozen house plants throughout my home that bring healthy living as well as color interest to my home. One of the exciting new plant additions to my home is the beautiful yet very intimidating orchid. I have been overwhelmed with the benefits of these captivating bloomers to my surroundings that I am sharing just about every orchid I come in contact with via my network on Twitter. With these shares I have also asked Costa Farms to please share with us the facts about growing orchids.
Melissa has the best job ever! On the job at Extreme Make Over in Savannah Ga. with the Deen Family"
In addition to asking Costa Farms to share with us for a fun filled hour tonight on #gardenchat I was honored to talk candid with their Communications Manager Melissa Arteaga Marti. I just love Melissa's networking from their adventures with ABC's Extreme Makeover. It has been entertaining as well as inspiring to see her on the job with some amazing folks in the entertaining industry via her Facebook shares. It was wonderful to hear all about her trip to Savannah, Georgia where she got to be on a project with the Deen Family. Y'all know I am HUGE fan of Paulas' only I try to add less butter and more garden when I bring her recipes to my kitchen. Melissa tells me that Paula Deen is everything I thought she was from being a fan of her magazine and Food Network recipe shares. We talked about the Deen Family on the podcast included in this blog entry as well. I hope you enjoy the podcast below that is filled with some breaking news for the #gardenchat participants and also some fun adventures that are coming soon for all of us who enjoy growing in home & garden.
