Example

Amanda planted her first tree on Earth Day with a local community group, just for something to do outside. But she found the act surprisingly grounding — literally and emotionally. She started tending to a small plot in her backyard, planting more trees and shrubs over time. The process of digging, planting, and watching things grow gave her a sense of patience and pride. She said it helped her reconnect with the pace of nature in a world that often felt too fast and digital.
