Good morning/afternoon, everyone! Today, we're going to be talking about urban gardening, which is an important topic because it helps us create a more sustainable environment.
B. Define the term urban gardening. Explain the importance of urban gardening and the benefits of planting trees.
Urban gardening is the practice of growing plants and trees in urban areas like cities and towns.

Planting trees, in particular, can help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and provide shade to cool urban environments.
