We all know that I can’t keep a plant alive to save my life. It’s not that I don’t want to, I just can’t. So I have to look for other ways to bring the outdoors in with rich floral patterns, this type of thing, and plants that don’t need much TLC. If you’re with me, I’ve picked four products below that can substitute for the real thing. They’re also perfect for adding some color this spring. (It is March on Friday. March. Where has the time gone?)
