I&#8217;ve always wanted to be more knowledgeable on identification itself. I&#8217;ve been here in Fairbanks for about three years now, but I used to work as a plant merchandiser for Lowes down in New York and I used to help customers all the time find plants they were looking for and researching specifics! I learned a lot then and I hope to rekindle it a bit. Working there did develop a great love for houseplants, because of that Id say my most favorite plant I&#8217;ve ever grown is a Rabbits Foot Fern! Why?? I&#8217;m not sure but Its pretty and I love looking at and caring for it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hers my cat mid photoshoot trying to eat it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXem1uedyKp-DRQ2iRWbm1lMaUTXqC-uahpKQqO8sVAf00wk2nInAo7E3qpSK-6TlG6ONnBhjFG3fKQtZtT0jw3T9pUgleJvREPh5E6Z-XB7Qm718oBL40rT9LRJr1gGStR2BxILMg?key=tvbwJGdYNUzfbZXDBv8XVA\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:200px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdmYJMOCSLw_dO153cXfy6wggegKHuCKXYJL39tvKWMG2CtkWGjouG-_nA9qo1TBpaZK4eDopBmkUCzSlDZQmNOqVLcaN4J7UTDj7BR8Zh1D3r6i9HRRgA95PlxhMR6yfc7z-Qd4w?key=tvbwJGdYNUzfbZXDBv8XVA\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:200px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m currently attempting to grow a garden this year, we shall see how it goes!
