2)The fruits and vegetables you eat are loaded with pesticides and chemicals, making it harmful to human health. Pesticides are primarily used for cultivation of crops and in some cases as residues.
3)A nursery is a place to protect seedlings so they have the best chance to germinate and to grow well until they are strong enough to be transplanted in the field
