SUMMARY W F hile m L aking th O is flora ma R gazine, I A gained a lot. of information and knowledge. Humans and plants are both living creatures. They both grow from small seeds. They both need love and a supportive environment to grow. They are both physically receptive to their surroundings. There are hundreds of thousands of different plant species in the world, we all know that. And each plant requires different grooming and planting needs in order to grow abundantly. You can't plant a sunflower indoors and expect it to turn into the radiant golden globe that it is. Just like you can't plant a succulent and feed it water everyday and expect it to survive. Every single flower, tree or bush requires their own individual care. Just like people S E S SIO N 1 2 0 2 3 / 2 0 2 4 LANDSCAPE DESIGN
