内容摘要：A lack of natural sunlight needn’t stop you. Plants that grow in the shade of large trees in the wild and other low-light plants are well-suited for darker bath or powder rooms. Consider Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema), English ivy (Hedera helix), snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata), philodendron, lucky bamboo, ferns, ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia), peace lily (Spathiphyllum) or the amenable spider plant.

Johnston said he knew “not everyone’s going to be passionate about agriculture.” That’s why he was intent on creating a village where people have spaces to come together; it’s up to them how much, if at all, they want to be involved in farming.Still, farms are a selling point for developers especially across the Sun Belt who compete to offer pools, gyms, parks and other perks to would-be residents who have a wide range of planned communities to choose from, said Scott Snodgrass. He’s founding partner of a developer that created Indigo, an agrihood outside Houston, and also of a company called Agmenity that runs farms for agrihood developers.At Agritopia, a community nestled around a plot of agricultural land, residential homes are intentionally close to the farm, April 22, 2025, in Gilbert, Ariz.

Before he started working at Agritopia, Ernesto Penalba didn’t know all the steps involved in growing garlic — harvesting, cleaning, plus packing and transporting. “But we only perceive it as one process. So it was really interesting to understand that,” he said, speaking in Spanish.

CC Garrett, who goes by “Miss Hickory” when she’s leading educational tours for kids on the farm, said she loves watching young people connect with their food in new ways — eating and maybe even enjoying salad for the first time or learning why you can’t grow tomatoes year-round.“We’re losing convenience, a staple,” she said of the pharmacy, which was part of a small statewide chain before CVS bought it in 2017. “I hope another pharmacy goes in here.”

Sweeney said that’s his goal — preferably an independent one. But in the months since the closure, two promising leads have dried up, leaving the them “dead in the water,” he said.Four of Wyoming’s independent pharmacies closed last year, said Melinda Carroll, legislative director of the state’s pharmacy association. Two more, one independent and one chain, closed so far this year.

Jones plans to hold out in Basin. He owns two other businesses there — a café next to the pharmacy and a grocery store, for which he cashed in some of his retirement accounts to keep it from closing.But some 25% of the prescriptions he fills today are reimbursed for less than what he bought the medications for. Jones said he lost $30,000 between the beginning of the year and mid-May.
