Hi! I am Gaia the Garden. Don’t think that I am just a small, puny patch of Mother Nature; I bring great benefits to the area around me.

In the morning, the birds nesting in my trees leave to find food.

Children come to appreciate the pretty flowers hidden in the bushes, and dogs frolic and lie in the sun.

Elderly people also come to enjoy the slight breeze whistling between the leaves of the trees.

In the afternoon, the children return from school and play near the flower beds. The birds come back happily, too.

I hear folks walking nearby say that the air around me is always fresher. I can also help reduce soil desertification and landslides. I am so proud of myself!

At night, the birds nest in the tree, and I look at the people walking around and going home.

One day, a person littered my grass! I felt horrible and disgusted. I hope no one does that again. It is bad for me.

And that’s me, Gaia the Garden. I hope you treat all my siblings and me well, because we are beneficial to the world!
