Living in a big city, for a long time I had lost this contact with nature. I had lost touch with the plants, with what we call &#8220;green&#8221;. I think the same is true for many of our fellow human beings. The only contact with plants was the trees in the streets and the flowers in pots on the balconies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I have the privilege of going out into my garden and grow vegetables. To be able to look at the greenery in the fields. To know that there is a forest near me and from time to time to enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even now that I can have my own garden and grow my own vegetables, get closer to nature and have closer contact with plants, do I really understand the importance of plants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plants are all around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do we treat them as we should or as just another de facto? Do we think that where there is soil and the right conditions, there are plants covering the landscape? Just like that and that&#8217;s about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s take a closer look at what we owe to plants.
