Beautiful flower gardens are a neighborhood of our world for thousands of years. Yet, flowers don’t provide us with food, clothing fibers, or the other item needed for survival. So, why can we spend such a lot time planting and caring for flowers?

A recent study conducted at Rutgers University, the State University of latest Jersey, offers scientific proof that flowers do provide happiness, surely a necessity for our emotional well being. The study was conducted under the direction of Jeannette M. Haviland-Jones, Ph.D., who may be a psychologist and internationally known expert in emotional development in human behavior. Of the results, Dr. Haviland-Jones said, “What’s most enjoyable about this study is that it challenges established scientific beliefs about how people can manage their day-to-day moods during a healthy and natural way.”
