Hello friends,
Let us CELEBRATE and join the #CHALLENGE!
Today, April 13th, is celebrated annually as International Plant Appreciation Day. This day is dedicated to recognising the importance of plants, their diverse benefits, and their vital role in maintaining our Mother Earth’s ecosystems. Whether it’s a towering tree, a delicate flower, or a humble houseplant, this day is a reminder of how vital plants are to our survival and well-being.
From dense rainforests to backyard gardens, they produce the oxygen we breathe (& absorb the carbon dioxide), provide food and medicine, regulate the climate, and support our entire ecosystems.
Write a ‘Post’ on LG Connect with a ‘Topic’ connected with #InternationalPlantAppreciationDay:
Write about your favourite plant/tree (with photos) and why it is important to you
(conserving the world ecology), Plant-based home Remedies, etc.
Visit a Botanical Garden or a Park with greenery: Explore the diversity of plant life from the real world.
Start a Garden: Whether it’s herbs on a windowsill or vegetables in a yard, gardening is both rewarding and eco-friendly; also, you can buy an Indoor Plant.
Learn and Share: Read about plant biology, conservation, or traditional plant-based remedies—and share your knowledge as a post in our LG Connect.
If you are visiting a Garden or Park, capture and upload some helpful photos to Google Maps and share a few of them in the comments of this post (try to add a Google Maps link also).
Otherwise, capture or select a plant (kindly avoid flower alone photos) or beautiful tree (it can be from your ‘Photo Collections’) and upload (max 3 photos only) it in the comments - thus join the celebration - request you to add a comment how it helps our ecosystem and beauty of the place.
Write a post in our LG Connect, and kindly tag me and include the hashtag #InternationalPlantAppreciationDay
The ‘Last Date’ for entries: 15th May 2025.
The ‘Awards’
Adding Photos: The five best ‘Photos’ will be awarded digital Certificates.
Publishing Posts: The five best ‘Posts’ will be awarded digital Certificates.
Hope you will join and make the ‘CHALLENGE’ successful.
Thank you for this challenge @TravellerG
Yesterday, at @AjitThite meetup, we gathered in a park with unique plants.
So I missed this challenge by a whisker.
The next time I go to a park, I will capture some unique and interesting plant photos and, if possible, information about it - then publish a post or share the photos.
Hello Mr @TravellerG
I have accepted your #challenge and I am posting some photos of beautiful flowers which I clicked when i was in Kolkata
These images are of Eco Park
Thank you for accepting my Challenge and posting your response.
However, we are looking for photos of ‘Plants or Trees’ with flowers or without flowers (not just flowers alone).
Thanks for understanding our theme…
Kindly add another shot, when time permits

Lieber Freund @TravellerG , ich war gestern in unserem Kurpark um ein paar Bilder für diese Challenge aufzunehmen, die Sonne schien herrlich aber eisiger Ostwind ließ mich und die Blumen erzittern.
Die Blumen sind Osterglocken und Stiefmütterchen. Die Blüten der Kirschblüte wurden leider vom Wind mitgenommen und zerzaust.
Ich hoffe die Bilder gefallen dir.
You are very correct, dear friend @ShailendraOjha
To me all trees and plants are beautiful.
Thanks very much for accepting the Challenge and responding so quickly.
But, will you permit me to request you to write a post when you are free… It will be highly appreciated…
Without plans and trees, we humans/animals would not have existed.. do you agree…
Thanks in advance.
Most sincerely
Wow… great entries…
Dedicated shots…
I highly appreciate… thank you very much accepting the Challenge and responding so quickly.
Once again, I’m thankful for going all the way to the park to capture the photos for this post -
The greenary keeps the global balancing in many ways…
When time permits, could you please write a post about Plants and Trees and its role in maintaining the ecosystem of our planet, please…no hurry…
Thanks
