I’ve never been to Korea in the winter to see this for myself, but what a beautiful way to take care of the trees that take care of us.

[Goodable @Goodable]

In South Korea, before winter begins, residents make blankets for the trees.

It's a beautiful tradition that keeps the trees healthy, insect-free, and colorful.
