Plants & Humans

Plants and humans have a long and complex relationship. Since time immemorial, plants have played a major role in human survival--providing food, medicine, clothing, energy, and even the air we breathe. Unfortunately, many people do not understand or appreciate the role that plants play in human life. RPG cultivates many varieties of plants including ferns, cacti, orchids, tropical fruit trees, and Ohio's own native trees and plants. Each plant, flower, and tree has a story to tell and RPG provides the quiet and peaceful setting that encourages humans to listen and appreciate.
