I have always loved plants since I was very young. When we walked to school, I would look at thedifferent plants. I would make up names for them and draw pictures of them. Whenever my teacher
asked us to draw a picture of anything we liked, I always drew pictures of plants.
Once I got to high school, I took a course that was all about plants. Most students took the course
in biology, but I took the course on plants. We went into the park to identify different species. It was
amazing. I found out that there were at least 27 different kinds of plants in our neighbourhood park.
There were also about 12 different kinds of trees. Some were deciduous. We were there in spring, so
they had their leaves.
I learned that weeds are not really bad plants. They are interlopers. They come from another
environment. They get to the new environment because animals bring them. The animals might pick up
the seeds on their fur and they carry the seeds to the new habitat. Then they fall off and start to grow.
