Kelly Gilbert by Kelly Gilbert

January is a time to cozy up inside and dream of gardens to come. While you wait, why not discover what kind of plant you are via an old-fashioned magazine-style quiz?

    B. A fancy cocktail

    C. A cup of coffee

    D. Gatorade

3. An outfit I would wear is:

     B. The latest trendy outfit 

     C. Sweats or pajamas

     D. A designer outfit

4. My favorite place to be outside is:

     B. A sculpture garden

     C. Somewhere warm and dry

     D. Nowhere, I’m an indoors kind of person

Tally up your answers and see what plant you are!

Mostly As: you’re a spider plant! A lover of sunshine and comfort

Mostly Bs: you’re an air plant! You prefer the finer things in life 

Mostly Cs: you’re a succulent!  You are a traditional type who knows what you like and sticks with it

Mostly Ds: you’re a peace lily! You might be a little high maintenance but you’re lovely and a joy to have around

Share what plant you are with us at the CRC! Special thanks to my good friend Stephanie Hutchins who pitched this fun idea to me when I was brainstorming ideas for this month’s column!
