Plants Make Life Better
Want to improve your quality of life? Get your hands dirty and plant something. That’s right, putting trees, flowers or shrubs in the ground doesn’t just provide you with beauty and shade, it can also improve your property value, lower your energy costs, clean the air and water—even lower your heart rate.

The Hardy Plant Society, commonly known as HPSO, is a non-profit volunteer organization for all gardeners: beginning or experienced, amateur or professional.
