If you know any places you can buy cheap plants that would be great too!

Answer by roderick_young
How much cold must it handle? If there isn’t snow on the ground, you could go to a nearby forest and dig up pine seedlings.Peas handle cold fairly well, but not extreme cold line pines. I’ve heard that peas will sprout through snow, but can’t attest to that, personally.Depending on where you live, Upland Cress (Creecy Greens) will tolerate cold – it’s the earliest wild vegetable in some places. Around where I live, Miner’s lettuce is similar. It’s coming up in our back yard now, and withstands hard frost. For both of these, you just go out to some vacant lot or wilderness area and get some.

Because we are so used to plants, we found ways on how to make the purposeful existence of plants work to our advantage. We use plants as a source of therapy and medication, we eat plants, and most of all we use plants to lighten and illuminate certain parts of our house or any part of our office.

Several studies have been made concerning the putting of plants in the office to alleviate stress among the workers.
