Bonus Activity:  Studies are showing that even though plants are definitely not sentient (and thus do not suffer when harvested or mowed or pruned), they are still much more responsive to their surroundings than once thought.  With this in mind, be extra kind to them while watering them.  Play them classical music (which studies have shown they “like” best).  Sprinkle some water on their leaves (to simulate light raindrops).  Speak with them gently as well — While they aren’t aware of what you’re saying, evidence is mounting that trees and other plants can sense the tone beneath our words and that they react accordingly.
