Flowers Make Seniors Happier

A recent, six month study by a major university found that flowers make senior adults happy. Rutgers University of New Jersey conducted the research project in cooperation with the Society of American Florist. The research follows a previous project released in 2000 which demonstrated the flowers had an overwhelmingly positive effect on the human psyche. The study found that flowers make senior adults happier, improves recent memory and encourages companionship.

As Baby Boomers enter their senior years it has never been more valuable to consider the effects flowers have on the human condition. When people are happy they live longer, fuller lives. Whether from your garden or your florist bring flowers into your lives and the lives of others and watch the profound effect they have on your level of happiness.
