About This Quote
Though this is a quote from the Bible, it is still very true today. A tree is a symbol of hope. The smell from a healthy tree fills the air and brings a sense of comfort. The leaves from a tree can be used to make clothing and paper.
The trunk of a tree can be carved into a table or chairs. If you plant a tree, you’re planting a hope that something here will live on for another day or that something else will grow from the seeds you planted.
