Houseplants in the kitchen help to reduce the cooking odours that pervade your house. Although baking cookies may smell delicious, cauliflower may be depressing! Alternatively, you may choose to grow herbs in your kitchen for easy access while cooking. Here are our best recommendations for kitchen plants:
