Save Live Trees, Buy Faux Trees Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.

- Henry David Thoreau

Faux trees and plants or fake trees and plants do serve a great cause, besides having certain inherent benefits of their own. The real or natural trees and plants are certainly beautiful. We all know that man has associated all his cultural events and social activities with greenery, be they trees, plants or flowers. Marriage or funeral, birthday or anniversary, flowers and greenery find a place. From the age-old Easter festival and May pole dance all festivities have come down to us with their traditional use of greenery. The modern times find man lying waste the planet. The cities become bigger and bigger day by day and the demand on nature has grown. The one good thing is that man is becoming conscious of the danger of felling trees, and using up of natural resources. Preservation of nature has become the need of the day. Scientists advise the creation of civilized forests to offset the imbalance created by man. Faux or fake trees or silk trees play an important role here. The use of fake trees and plants or flowers in the place of natural ones, reduces the demand on nature and directly help conservation. Now many suffer from allergies, caused by pollen particles or by the insects that are attracted to natural trees, plants and flowers. The soil particles, pesticides and fertilizers add to the problem. With skyscrapers coming up to satisfy the growing housing needs, people get little room for gardens in the apartments. Having a garden and taking care of it too has become a near impossibility. Here Fake plants have an edge over the natural ones. They not only serve preserving natural ones but also satisfy ones thirst to decorate ones interiors and outdoors, without any health risk. Even a simple drawing room gets transformed into a rich and royal place, when a beautiful silk plant in a shiny brass planter is placed on a short table. A fake or silk Christmas tree can be preserved and reused year after year. It becomes a long term investment seen against the expenditure done on real trees and the trouble in disposing of the withered one. They require little attention, except for off and on cleaning. The faux trees and plants attract no insects and they do not spread any pollen particles. They do not require watering or fertilizers or pesticides. They do not smudge the carpet or floor and elaborate cleaning is avoided. They do not grow out of shape requiring pruning and cutting them down to shapes. They remain in shape forever and they retain their color for long. No withered leaves or flowers are there necessitating removal of fallen leaves. Many chores associated with natural greenery get eliminated with the use of fake trees, plants and flowers. The necessity to allow unknown persons very often into the premises for cleaning the garden is avoided and thereby security risks get reduced. Finally the dangers of mildew or mold are certainly not there with faux trees or silk trees. The need to buy fresh ones for every occasion is minimized and with fake trees and plant decoration one can rearrange them into a new pattern on every occasion, since the silk trees and plants are easily portable. Housed in beautiful metal or ceramic planters, which come with exquisite designs, they become the center of attraction. The faux plants can serve as a center piece decoration or as a decorative on a reception table, make the restaurant a pleasant place to sit quietly and eat, or become a party decoration outdoors, without the associated problems of insects infesting the place. www.artificialplantsandtrees and www.silkflowers.net have a variety of silk plants, trees flowers to suit any need or occasion.
