plants for another reason:We need them because they are beautiful.

their lovely shapes.Imagine,when the wind blows,we are not able to hear the leaves in the trees or watch
the branches swing from side to side.Everywhere people need beautiful plants.That is why we have parks
full of trees and flowers.That is why people always like houses with room for some grass and a garden.
