Aperçu

Plants give us food, oxygen and shelter, and their health is linked to ours. Plant a tree to celebrate the green life that keeps our planet thriving.

Ensuring plant health is crucial not only for the well-being of individual trees but also for entire ecosystems.

While planting trees is essential for our planet, it's equally important to take care of them to ensure their survival. Many trees face various problems, such as pests and diseases, which can cause them to wither away.

Let's take care of our forests in order to transmit to our children a preserved nature.

This week, the French school holidays are over. As a result, we welcomed fewer children 😅. 44 child travelers this week = 44 trees planted.

I really shouldn´t be planting new trees but couldn´t resist just one (to show the beauty of healthy plants!) with a woodblock of a beautiful healthy Japanese garden

"The Iris Garden at Heian Jingū, Kyōto" by Idō Masao (1945-2016), a very successful Japanese printmaker who spent much of his working life in Japan's former imperial capital, Kyōto.

Heian-jingū, a partial reproduction of the Heian Palace from Heian-kyō (the former name of Kyoto), is a Shinto shrine located in Sakyō-ku, Kyōto, Japan. It is ranked as a Beppyō Jinja (the top rank for shrines) by the Association of Shinto Shrines, and is listed as an important cultural property of Japan.

The Japanese-style garden takes up about half the land area (approximately 33060 m2) of the shrine. Renowned gardener Ogawa Jihei VII, also known as Ueji, created the garden over a 20-year period. The water used in the ponds comes from the Lake Biwa Canal. Species otherwise rare in Japan such as Acheilognathus cyanostigma, the Yellow pond turtle and the Japanese pond turtle live around the ponds

Here's a great book you can download if you would like to teach your kids about plant health (link to free pdf in the link below - you have to click and go into this tree link btw)

This activity book has been designed, written and illustrated to bring children and young people closer to the world of plant protection; the science that deals with plant health. Although addressed to an age group between eight and twelve years, this book can also be useful for older kids and educators. It can be considered as first, simple plant protection manual, designed on the occasion of the International Year of Plant Health 2020

Plants are life – we depend on them for 80 percent of the food we eat and 98 percent of the oxygen we breathe. But international travel and trade has been associated with the introduction and spread of plant pests. Invasive pest species are one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss and threaten the delicate web of life that sustains our planet. Pests and diseases have also been associated with rising temperatures which create new niches for pests to populate and spread. In response, the use of pesticides could increase, which harms pollinators, natural pest enemies and organisms crucial for a healthy environment. Protecting plant health is essential by promoting environmentally friendly practices such as integrated pest management. International standards for phytosanitary measures (ISPMs) in trade also help prevent the introduction and spread of plant pests across borders.

The International Day of Plant Health 2023 calls on everyone to raise awareness and take action to keep our plants healthy and help protect the environment and biodiversity.
