9)  I don't have to have a lot of money to enjoy plants.  

8)  Plants provide income - to farmers, the nursery industry, landscapers, grocers, scientists, restaurants - the list goes on and on.

5)  Plants are our original medicines and still function as medical cures.  

4)  Plant are beautiful:  from the wee face of a daisy to the grandeur of a forest to the artistic rendering on canvas. 

3)  Plants feed me.  I depend completely on the plant world for food, whether vegetarian or not.  Cows eat grass.  

2)  Plants remind me of the continual cycle of life.  There is a time to die and yet, life goes on.

1)  Plants don't have politics.
