I would like to bring houseplants and window gardening into the facility where I work.  We have a resident cat and 32 alzheimer residents. I would like a list of what plants are safe.
  1. Thanks for your question...

    Hi and thanks for writing!

     

    My name is MK and I am the producer of this site.

     

    I do not have any information on what plants would be safe to bring into the facility where you work. I suspect that someone more familiar with plants and gardening would know what plants would have adverse affects on Alzheimer's patients.

     

    However, I will forward the question along to our experts and will let you know what I hear from them.

     

    Sorry we couldn't be of more help, for now...

    Good morning!

     

    I'm checking into this question for you, but my contact at this great plant nursery near where I live is out of town for the week. Stay tuned....
