  Good question, although flowers are more attractive to look at I would say tress as they are more useful.

  I have been thinking about this question for several hours and I’m unable to decide. I would love to live in a meadow of wildflowers, but I think I would choose to live in a forest, as I think it would be more interesting throughout the year, and also provides a habitat for lots of animals and insects which I could watch. Also I could live in a tree house!
  What would you choose?

  I am 100% bias on this one BUT definitely a forest full of trees! 😀 There’s nothing more magical than standing in a forest and just simply taking in what is happening. Firstly, you are completely dwarfed when you look up and they are huge and everything feels really silent (almost spooky!). After about 5 minutes, its like rush hour. There are birds flittering everywhere, singing lots of songs and butterflies and bees just buzzing around doing their daily tasks. Its just perfect! There is so much going on that you don’t really realise when you walk past trees. It just takes 5 minutes to listen, watch and let the forests wash over you 🙂 I’d love a tree house and all you could ever need to survive would be there: food, materials and any medicine you might need. A forest full of flowers would be lovely, especially if it was sunflowers, lupins and foxgloves. But a game of hide and seek would not be as exciting!

  This is such a hard question! I guess if we’re talking about where I would like to live then a forest full of flowers, because then I could see all the different pollinators visiting them and the different flowers coming out at different times of year. There are few things I like more than standing in a meadow full of flowers and watching all the different bugs visiting them. It makes me feel really peaceful and I love the sense of all this life and activity around me. Of course, lots of animals and insects rely on trees as well and a forest full of trees would also be full of life. But you wouldn’t see a lot of it because it would be up in the branches of the trees. But now that I think about it if you were in a forest full of trees they would still be there in the winter while most of the flowers would die off in the winter… This question is even harder then I thought!
