Growing trees in the concrete jungle of Los Angels brings neighbors benefits beyond beauty.
As the  36 of TreePeople, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1973, Andy, now 54, has inspired hundreds of thousands of volunteers to  37 plant more than two million trees throughout Southern California.
Tree People 38 tools, blueprints, planting demonstrations, and tree-care supervisors free to all the participants,  39 me. “You will need their support,” Andy said, referring to my neighbors. “ 40 
the community behind you, the trees you plant will die in five years.” So I started knocking on doors, hoping to share  41 I’d learnt in Tree People’s seminar(培訓班) about the critical role of trees in removing smog from the  42 , cooling our homes and preventing water runoff.
Strange  43 it may seem, some people are afraid of trees. “The roots destroy sidewalks,” one neighbor said, “  44 will ruin my pipes. And I don’t want leaves.” 45  told me.
When I called Andy about the  46 I was getting from my neighbors, he encouraged me to keep trying. So my son and my wife delivered cookies while I went door to door. It  47 us half a year to sign permission forms from 16 neighbors for 21 trees.
When the big day arrived, I was excited and  48 . What if I threw a planting tree and  49 else came? But as I set out shovels(鐵鏟), my son and wife made cakes and doughnuts,  50 started to gather. Friends brought friends. Neighbors came with cousins and grandchildren. A local middle school even  51 with half the seventh grade. More than 300 people joined us.
Then Andy led us in a  52 : welcoming each tree into the world and  53 it name. After the ceremony, as I shook hands with volunteers and my neighbors, I  54 help but feel we’d accomplished  55 great. After all, trees need people, and people need trees.
