Imagine no flowers with their sweet smell, their beautiful colors and their lovely shapes. Imagine, when the wind blows, we’re not able to hear the leaves in the trees or watch the branches swing from side to side.
That is why we have parks full of trees and flowers. That is why people always like houses with room for some grass or a garden.
Do you talk to your plants? Peter Tompking and Christopher Bird wrote a book called The Secret Life Of Plants, telling of an experiment in which two seeds were planted in different places. While the plants were growing, one plant was given love and hopeful ideas. The other plant was given only hopeless ideas.
Under the earth it had more and longer roots; above the earth, it had a thicker stem and more leaves. While the other one nearly stopped growing.
