Need some greenery inside now that the outside is mostly bare trees and snowy ground? In this week’s cover story, John Fladd gets advice from local experts about picking plants and keeping them alive inside your abode.

Also on the cover Symphony NH has a packed December schedule (page 17). John Fladd looks at two upcoming area holiday markets — the New Hampshire World Christmas Market and the Amherst German Christmas Market, both slated for next weekend (page 20). Michael Witthaus talks to Ryan Green of acoustic duo Ryanhood ahead of their Friday, Dec. 5, show (page 26).
