“Have YOU Planted your Tree Today…..Reforestration……..Let’s all do our part and PLANT” by @gardengirlcanada

Most homesteaders have a deep appreciation for nature, both the plants and the animals that help sustain their chosen lifestyle. One of the best ways to show this gratitude towards Mother Earth is to help replant some of the trees that humans have taken down. So @gardengirlcanada asks “Have YOU Planted your Tree Today…..Reforestration……..Let’s all do our part and PLANT.”
