Greening Things Up a Bit

Inspired by Joe Van Duren's recent post about plants in his dojo, and the video he mentioned about growing your own fresh air, I went out this week and picked up a few new and inexpensive floor plants for the dojo. They look great, and I'm happy to know that my design additions are adding oxygen and removing toxins from the air!

With all the CO2 we're creating in the dojo because of our training, adding more plants just makes good 'ol fashioned sense. More plants = more fresh air.

But there's more — Just seeing the plants upon entering the dojo encourages me to take a deep breath and relax. It's like having a little bit of the wild outdoors on the inside. The new plants, combined with the recently added skylights, and the dojo is starting to feel downright woodsy.

Kinda like the Emerald Necklace itself.

Nice.
