Some people hug trees to exchange energy with them. I enjoy tending to my plants. I have a family history of gardening. At the house I live in now, there is a forty-year old camellia tree that my grandmother planted. I have a picture of my grandfather sitting next to it when it was a small bush in 1974.

Thank you.
