Plants are like half of a peaceful soul played by nature and without plants for me aridity is like a vast desert, with plants We can learn a lot Because plants sometimes make human life healthy and protect us when natural disasters occur, namely floods and landslides.

When I clean the yard at the school house, which is where I work. I saw a unique tree with beautiful leaves that were very different from the usual leaves and had small flowers at the ends of the branches.
