Our website promotes the celebration of Earth and humankind together in a natural setting. This segment includes botanical exploration. The Novice's Guide to the Plant Kingdom combines science with the species' folklore and natural history.
Understanding the Plant Kingdom may encourage more participation in outdoor activities that might bring you closer to (and without harming) your natural environment. Hopefully, our website will instill in you, the same sense of excitement and entertainment that it has awakened in us. With a little knowledge, you may just become that tree hugger, sensing the awe of the woods that mankind will never replicate.
