(Emily Curiel / Xpress Media) During quarantine, Adams says that having plants helps with mental and physical health. “It has absolutely helped me out! Even outside of the pandemic, they provide me clean air, they provide me a sense of stability, something to nurture and love and take care of.

And really spend time in solitude just with momma Earth.”
