People have been growing houseplants for several centuries. In addition to keeping vegetables, fruits and flowers in their outdoor gardens, the idea of bringing plants inside to grow was an appealing one for those who lived in less favorable environments. By the end of the 1600s, the art of growing plants indoors gained popularity and became an interesting hobby or pastime.
It wasn’t until much more recently that Take Your Houseplant For A Walk Day was thought of. The day was the brainchild of Thomas and Ruth Roy, holiday-makers extraordinaire. The idea behind this day was to celebrate plants, and to acquaint plants with their immediate environment, which might even be healthy for them.
