What is this?
Trees give us fruits, flowers, shade and fresh air — all for free. Caring for a plant teaches children that seva means giving without expecting anything back.
🌿 How to do Seva
- Choose one plant at home that is yours to care for.
- Check the soil — push your finger gently in; if it is dry, it is time to water.
- Water the plant slowly and gently — not too much, not too little.
- Remove any dry or yellow leaves carefully.
- Give the plant some sunlight — place it near a window.
- Talk to your plant kindly! Scientists say plants respond to loving words.
- Draw your plant once a week and notice how it grows.
