Celebrate Plant Appreciation Day!

Hey readers,

It’s Plant Appreciation Day today!

This holiday is held every year on April 13th and is the perfect way to celebrate Earth Month. Plants are awesome because they clean our air and our water – and they’re really cool to look at! They come in lots of different shapes, sizes, and colours and they grow all around us.

If you want to show plants how much you love them, here are some fun things you can do today:

• Plant a seed in soil and help it grow
• Go for a walk outside and look for different types of plants and flowers
• Draw a picture of your favourite plant
• Give water to a house plant or garden plant

Let us know what you did to celebrate in the comments below!

Have fun,
