PLANTS LOVE YOU
Embrace The Beauty of Plants & Nature With The ‘Plants Love You’ Campaign
Welcome to Hunter’s Garden Centre’s celebration of the “Plants Love You” campaign, presented by the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association (CNLA)! Running from now until March, this exciting initiative shines a spotlight on the incredible benefits of plants and encourages everyone to experience their joys firsthand. Join us in making a difference—both in your home and in the world around you.
What is the Plants Love You Campaign?
The “Plants Love You” campaign is all about spreading the love and appreciation for plants. From improving your mood and air quality to enhancing your home’s aesthetic, plants have a remarkable ability to enrich our lives. By participating in this campaign, you’re not just bringing more greenery into your life—you’re also supporting a national movement that highlights the importance of plants in our everyday well-being.
Why Plants Love You
Air Purification
Plants give us life… literally! One of the most important advantages of plants is their ability to clena the air, promoting improved health and breathing. Click here to learn more about the best purifying plants for your home and check out a link from NASA’s Clean Air Study!
Attract Pollinators
Many plants produce nectar and pollen that attract essential pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds! By growing plants that support these creatures, you help sustain their populations and promote biodiversity.
Enhance Biodiversity
Plants play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance by supporting diverse life forms. A variety of plants in your garden creates a habitat for different species, contributing to a richer and more resilient ecosystem.
Healthy Homes
Plants not only act as natural air purifiers, removing toxins and improving indoor air quality, they can improve productivity and concentration too! As well, by increasing humidity and filtering pollutants, they contribute to a healthier living space.
Boost Wellbeing
Research shows that having plants around can lower stress levels, improve concentration, and enhance your overall mood. The presence of greenery promotes relaxation and creates a calming environment in your home or office.
Beautiful Spaces
Plants add vibrancy and life to any space, transforming dull areas into lush, inviting environments. Their varied textures and colors can complement and enhance your interior design, making your home or office more aesthetically pleasing.

Plant & Nurture
Plants love us… let’s reciprocate it! Here are 6 areas where we can do our part to help plants and the planet for future generations:
- Natural Air Cleaners: Plants absorb CO2 (carbon dioxide) caused by emissions and produce the clean O2 (oxygen) we breathe.
- Lungs of Our Cities: Plants absorb CO2 (carbon dioxide) caused by emissions and produce the clean O2 (oxygen) we breathe.
- Natural Air Conditioners: Strategic placement of trees in urban areas can cool the air by between 2°C and 8°C. With these hot summer days in the concentrated cities of Vancouver and Surrey, as well as the increasing number of forest fires across British Columbia, this is important!
- Natural Air Purifiers: Plants are natural filters for urban pollutants and tiny particles.
- Natural Habitat: Urban green spaces provide homes for wildlife and plants, increasing urban biodiversity.
- Natural Health Plans: Spending time in urban landscapes improves physical and mental health by increasing energy levels and reducing blood pressure and stress.
