We’ve all heard the phrase “stop and smell the roses”, but did you know that connecting with plants can have positive impacts on your mental and physical wellbeing? At WOW Car Wash, we have a deep appreciation for plants. We believe that caring for our environment is an integral part of taking care of our community, and we are passionate about encouraging our Guests and community to appreciate the beauty of plants. Let’s talk about why plants are good for you.
The Benefits of Plants
For starters, having a plant in your home or office space can help improve air quality by removing pollutants from the air. This can be especially beneficial if you suffer from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues. Additionally, studies suggest that seeing greenery can reduce stress levels, improve moods, boost creativity and productivity, and even help lower blood pressure. It’s no wonder why so many people keep houseplants!
Having green spaces around us may also benefit our mental health by providing us with a sense of calmness and security. Studies have found that spending time in nature can reduce depression symptoms and increase levels of enthusiasm and vitality. It also increases concentration because it helps to clear the mind of distractions and provides a calming effect.
Finally, research suggests that interacting with plants releases oxytocin — a hormone that helps regulate stress levels — which could lead to better sleep quality overall. Plus, simply caring for your houseplants can provide an outlet for creative expression or catharsis if needed.

We want to do our part to promote plant appreciation and help make a positive impact on our environment. During the month of April, we are inviting all Guests and members of our community to join us in celebrating Plant Appreciation Month! Whether it’s planting a few extra flowers around your house or adding some potted plants to your balcony or porch, there are countless ways you can take part in this special celebration.
