Something different the children can do…build your own oxygen production unit 😜

Planting pine trees can provides shade, windbreaks and screening in the environment.

They can also offer us some less obvious benefits such as the soothing sounds of wind through the pine branches and aromatic fragrances from leaves and sap.  I personally love pine trees because they always remind me of Christmas time.

There are about 114 species of pines, native mostly to the Northern Hemisphere. They do grow throughout the world though mainly as ornamentals.

I came across a post on Facebook today that I thought you might like too.

It shows how we can grow our own pines in only 5 simple steps.

1. Go to the woods. Find a few pinecones.

2. Put the pinecone in a pot with compost- so that most of it stands out.

3. Every day, just give it a small amount of water, as excess water will make the pinecone rot.

4. After some time, a tiny tree(trees) will appear.

5. Congratulations - the new trees will start oxygen production and you will have a piece of forest in your own home
