Does planting plants and flowers outside do the same as planting trees?

I can't plant trees because I don't know how, but could I plant a seed for plants and flowers? Like would that do good for the environment like how planting tree would?

All green matter helps the enviroment....but planting trees are a MUCH better option...they shade and thus cool yards/house....they hold the soil in place(fighting erosion)....they take in and process MUCH more carbon dioxide(and other pollutants)





Planting a tree is east you just dig a hole 2-3 3 times as big as the root ball(make sure to take off burlap wrap or the pot!)....put in the hole....fill around with dirt....water...simple!





The important part is choosing the right tree( a LOCALor Native is the best choice),,,,,,,to do this just contact your local county extension office.

Reply:Absolutely. Every living plant contributes to the environment by obsorbing carbon dioxide and through transpiration. Planting a tree is just about as easy as planting seeds, let's say you've picked a location for a tree, taking into consideration that over the years the tree will grow larger it's important to note any interference its root system may involve, such as sidewalks, patios leach systems etc. Once you've determined the location all you need to do is visit your local nursery, there are many varieties in different sizes and your nursery man can give you tips on this as well.
Reply:actually most trees are just as easy as most flowers plus they last longer. I think you should plant a tree depending on the size of your yard
Reply:Yes it does and good for you. Kep up the good work and spread the word.
Reply:A good tree will grow big and could last hundreds of years, very few smaller plants will do that.





On the other hand planting trees is very easy, one only has to remember that you want the tree to be put somewhere it will be good to be for hundreds of years.





Something I do that you can too is to plant the seeds of the fruit you eat in small containers (like paper cups) with dirt and put them outside. Many will not grow, some will grow easily. Then you will not only have trees you will have fruit trees!





PS you can do this with vegetables as well
