In Science we are talking a lot about nature and cities. For homework we had to read an article about plants that were brought into the city and then write about four plants or nature cites that have been brought into the city. I am proud of this work because it shows that I can pick out the four cites and describe them. It shows that I can understand what the article is about and that I can understand it. In the article I also found really interesting plants that have been brought into cities in many cool and interesting places!

One way that nature has been brought into cities was in NYC, people put plants onto the disused railway (the high line) now there are some birds that have been attracted to these plants on the highway. This is important to NYC because there is barely any nature, so by having the high line it brings some fresh air and nature to the city.

Another way that nature has been brought into the city was in Singapore at a hotel. They planted trees, and has a pool on the 56 floor. This probably will attract birds because it is so high up, and the birds can live in the trees. The hotel calls it a skypark.

In Berlin people are turning waste and plotting them in spots around the city. Even on street corners and on rooftops to turn them into mini gardens. This is good for the city to get fresh air, and to have nature in their sight not just cities.

Vertical farms are also being planted in cities, even though they use energy for the farms the food that they plant will be more fresh than food being imported from different countries. This makes the percentage of having pesticides in their crops less, and still brings a little nature into the cities.
