Why walking outdoors improves mental health
🌳 Why walking outdoors improves mental health

  • 🚶‍♀️Spending time in nature - even as little as 10 minutes - can yield short-term benefits for individuals with mental illness, according to a new study involving 1,492 participants with a diagnosed mental illness and 14,168 studies.

  • 🚶‍♀️Just 10 minutes of walking, running, or exercising in nature has a positive effect.

  • 🚶‍♀️The type of setting doesn’t matter - parks, mountains, forests, and farms all work.

  • 🚶‍♀️Nature benefits people with mood disorders and stress the most.


So, lets go outside and touch some plants!

🐈 Are you looking forward to results of study where cats are involved?

Is it a plant or an animal? It's a Centipede Fern! A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

Homalocladium platycladum - Centipede Fern

Is it a plant or an animal? It's a Tapeworm Ribbonbush!
  • Homalocladium platycladum - Centipede Fern, Tapeworm Ribbonbush is Bizarreness!
  • The Ribbon Bush is a terrific, leaf-less plant from the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific with long, flattened stems resembling tapeworms - hence its nickname "Tapeworm Plant".
  • It's hard to capture the unusual beauty of this plant in pictures.
  • This is an awesome, offbeat plant that will get people asking: "What the heck is that??".
  • This plant needs very little care, makes a great houseplant, and is very hard to find.

Why we want to plant a tree today

Code red: Study reveals human degradation of tropical forests
is greater than previously estimated

This summer has been scorching hot across the globe, with every summer month breaking temperature records in recorded history.

Have you ever wondered what kind of natural world your children or grandchildren will inherit? Will they grow up surrounded by lush forests and greenery, or will they only know cities made of metal and concrete?

Tropical forests are super important for biodiversity and fighting climate change, but humans are messing them up more than we thought. Using fancy tech from the International Space Station, scientists found that human activities like logging and road-building are degrading these forests a lot. Even edges of forests are suffering, reducing canopy height and biomass significantly. This degradation is often overlooked, even though it has a huge impact on carbon emissions and biodiversity loss.

Planting trees in your yard, or even better, several trees, helps combat this problem by restoring some of the lost biodiversity and absorbing carbon dioxide. Plus, it's a fun way to make your space greener and contribute to a healthier planet!

Together, we've planted over 15,000 trees this year!

This year at TopTropicals, we have planted quite a few trees. Let's see...
- 44 mango trees planted at our BFarm...
- 49 tropical fruit trees
- 127 flowering trees and shrubs... (special thanks to Mick and Aurelio)
- 15,282 plants were ordered and, hopefully, planted by our customers this year so far...

Join us. Plant a tree today to make the difference!

"Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago." - Warren Buffett
