We appreciate your posts and the following ones are randomly selected because of their botanical qualities. They are manually curated on behalf of the  [Amazing Nature Community](https://peakd.com/c/hive-127788/created).

**Botany** is a broad term covering scientific study of plants. It could be from a small living organism to a tree. Included would be flora, fungi, lichens, trees and flowering plants. 

We are also interested in plants for their psychological (good for the mind & soul) benefits.

Through botany, medicinal properties are discovered from nature.  Food, medicines, parks, forests, pollution  and much more have been improved with botanical knowledge. 

### I would like to bring your attention to the curated posts and ask you to show some love to the amazing authors:
