Take Your Houseplant For A Walk Day Proud plant-owners can show off their leafy friends to the neighbourhood when Take Your Houseplant For A Walk Day rolls around. The idea behind this day is to celebrate plants, and to acquaint plants with their immediate environment, which is supposed to be healthy for them. Plant-owners can admire each others’ plants, and exchange stories and tips on plant-care.

For those who find this concept a little strange, there are more conservative ways to get involved. Plants grow throughout their lives, and you can use this day as an excuse to re-pot any plants that might be getting a bit big for their abode. You can take your plant for a walk to a new location within the house, perhaps one where it might get more sun. And if you don’t own a houseplant, there’s no better day to bring one home and introduce it to your family. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/take-your-houseplant-for-a-walk-day/

Walk on Stilts Day If you’ve ever been to the circus or a parade, you have without a doubt seen someone walking along high above the crowd on a pair of stilts. To the common man, stilts are the mainstay of theatrical performers, clowns, jugglers, and that odd looking fellow from the Liberal Arts College in their annual parade. What most people don’t know is that stilts have a long and august history in many cultures, for reasons varying from ceremonial to purely practical. Walk on Stilts Day is the perfect time to learn about this surprisingly useful tools, and maybe try out a pair for yourself! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/walk-on-stilts-day/

1. No time to say much, my houseplant and I have to go stilt-walking

Good morning and hello down there!

5. Indeed

It's a busy time.....

2. I think that I'll have to sit out today.

I have "I've got a Brown Thumb" everyday and it I try the stilt-walking it would likely turn out to be "National Set a Bone in a Cast Day" due my lack of balance and coordination.

3. We will sympathize as we look down on you, stumbling on our stilts

To tell the truth, at my age there are many things that I have the good sense not to do anymore. Roller coasters, for one. And now that it's mentioned, I can add stilts.

4. I do not have a green thumb

And I have never tried walking on stilts.
