                                                  plants.
                                     Plants are very useful for us.

                                     They help us in many ways by
                                      providing different things.






              We  see  many  kinds  of  plants  around  us.  They  make  our  world
              green. They provide shelter to many animals, birds and insects.


              There would be no life without plants. Plants give us many things.
