Bond+Park+Plant+exchange

At the Plant Exchange it was nice to learn about the different types of plants and why people chose to have a liking towards on type of plant. More importantly we need to conserve the diversity of plants. Deforestation is a problem that is prevalent with cities that are urbanizing. I learned that people like to grow their own foods because they do not want to face problems with GMOs. It gives an aesthetic pleasure as well as is in benefit of the people who have the garden. I think it is important to preserve land so that we do not loose our city's aesthetic as also so that we do not overcrowd cities with only houses and buildings. Importing plants is expensive therefore for us to preserve beauty is the best option. In australia there is a minimum amount of trees imported because 1. they are expensive 2. they are labor intensive compared to the natural trees.
