Many workers spend their time in the office glued to a chair, watching a screen. Taking time to enjoy the outdoors helps countless people, which is why a workplace garden will benefit employees. Employees will enjoy the garden at their workplace, which will improve the team’s mood and the office's efficiency.
Attract People to the Business
Many people like the look and smell of flowers and plants, so a company with a garden may attract people to the location. Onlookers may become curious about what the establishment has to offer, or at the very least, they will remember its location. Brightly colored flowers will catch people's eyes, including potential hires who find the garden inviting, as it may reflect the company's intentions of creating a quality workplace.
Create a Positive Atmosphere
A garden at the workplace benefits employees and allows them to spend time in an area that brings them joy. The garden will feel less restrictive than the office, and if there are places to sit and relax, it may become a retreat where employees regain their energy after hard work.
The work employees perform in an office or warehouse setting requires focus and detailed knowledge. Spending their breaks in the garden will help relax their minds and give them a moment to think about something besides work. Many companies have begun creating healthy mid-door environments for their employees in order to create a calm and efficient culture.
Provide a Better Face for a Company
A company's image is fundamental in the business world, and quality architecture and special features on a building are essential to the company's success. Adding a garden to the exterior of the building will help the company's image and improve its reputation in the community. Growing various plants, vegetation, and flowers will give people the impression of a great company, similar to a house with a beautiful front garden. Flora makes a business look more inviting and less austere. Natural greenery in a corporate environment creates an ambiance of joy and life.
Using a garden in a workplace is a wonderful idea for many people. The employees and the company will benefit from having an area of calming plant life to visit.

ISRAEL/IRAN
In a statement this morning in which the Secretary-General reiterated that it is high time to stop the dangerous cycle of retaliation in the Middle East.
The Secretary-General condemns any act of retaliation and appeals to the international community to work together to prevent any further development that could lead to devastating consequences for the entire region and beyond.
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY
On Wednesday and Thursday –the UN was able to transfer into Gaza 15 of 30 trucks bought by the United Nations to enhance aid delivery. The purchase and shipment of those trucks is being funded by the Humanitarian Fund for the OPT [Occupied Palestinian Territory], at a cost of almost $3.5 million.
Meanwhile, we’ve received information that some 270,000 tons of solid waste have now accumulated across the Gaza Strip; that’s according to the Union of Gaza Strip Municipalities. That is what they are telling us. This is creating, as you can imagine, an environmental and public health catastrophe. The destruction of waste management facilities and medical waste disposal centres has severely hampered the collection and disposal of solid waste by municipalities.
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that ongoing hostilities in Gaza, the destruction of roads, and the prevalence of unexploded ordnance continue to pose significant risks for humanitarian workers. These challenges are also impeding the physical movement of aid supplies across the Gaza strip.
This is in addition to fuel supply constraints, delays and insecurity at the checkpoint on the coastal road, restrictions on telecommunications equipment being able to be brought in, and an insufficient number of drivers and trucks cleared by Israel to use the fence road.
Since the beginning of the war, most trucks used for transporting aid have been damaged or destroyed. The fleet available in Gaza is extremely limited. And as I’ve told you, we did bring in extra trucks.

A full 12-person jury has been sworn in for ex-US President Donald Trump's historic criminal trial in New York City.
"We have our jury," Justice Juan Merchan declared after seven men and five women were selected for the panel.
The jury-selection process had faced an initial setback after the judge dismissed two jurors who had been seated earlier this week.
The trial, the first ever in which a former US president is the defendant, stems from a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

ODN Video: Israel Launches Strikes Deep Inside Iran
Israel has launched a series of strikes against Iran. Anti-aircraft fire was spotted in the skies above Isfahan, a province just south of Tehran. There are several large military bases in the region, including missile production and nuclear facilities. US officials confirmed a missile strike, but the Israeli government has yet to comment. There are no reports of any damage or casualties, and Iranian officials have said there are no plans for an immediate retaliation. Iran also claims to have intercepted three drones, but denied a missile had struck inside the country. Israel’s attack against Iran is itself a retaliation, following an Iranian drone and missile attack on Saturday. Some 300 drones and missiles were fired towards Israel by Iran, but nearly all of them were intercepted. Tehran has been expecting an Israeli response ever since, but this morning’s attack was comparatively muted. Iran has downplayed the strike, and the UN atomic watchdog has said there was no damage to Iranian nuclear sites.

ODN Video: New Combat Footage Shows How Israel-Hamas War is Changing
New footage released by both Hamas and the Israel Defense Forces show the conflict is shifting.
The militant group continues to release highly-edited clips, which it claims shows its fighters in action in northern and central Gaza.
But the skirmishes shown are small in scale, with Hamas keeping their distance from Israeli forces, using sniper rifles, short-range missiles and mortars.
Meanwhile, the number of videos showing Israeli ground operations in the Gaza Strip is decreasing as its military withdraws large numbers of troops from frontline combat.
Instead, most new videos show the Israeli Air Force striking ‘terrorist infrastructure’ inside the territory.
There are more videos showing Israeli soldiers conducting nighttime raids in the West Bank.
And far more clips showing large Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon - a theatre of the war that is growing in importance.
The militant group Hezbollah, which wields significant power in Lebanon, is closely linked with Iran.
Israel’s increased aggression against Hezbollah may be part of its response to Iran’s recent missile attacks, as fears grow that the Israel-Hamas war may spill over into a wider regional conflict.

ODN Video: What Is Cloud Seeding and Did it Cause The Dubai Floods?
Dubai experienced unprecedented rainfall on Tuesday, causing widespread chaos.
Schools were shut down, flights were cancelled, and cars had to be abandoned.
The country -faced 14cm (5.6 inches) of rain, leaving much of the city underwater.
Some have speculated that the heavy rain might have been triggered by "cloud seeding”.
But what is cloud seeding?
Cloud seeding is a method where existing clouds are manipulated to produce more rainfall.
Aircraft release small particles into clouds, aiding the condensation of water vapour and resulting in increased rainfall.
Most operations use a compound called silver iodide, which exists naturally in the environment and has no known harmful effects.
The United Arab Emirates has been using cloud seeding in recent decades to alleviate water shortages. Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs

The attack started with 170 drones launched from Iran to Israel.
An hour later Iran launched 30 cruise missiles, capable of reaching Israel in just over an hour.
110 ballistic missiles were fired next, taking under 15 minutes to reach their targets.
At the same time, drone attacks were launched by Iran’s Houthi allies in Yemen…
While Hezbollah launched drones from the Golan Heights.
Despite the size of the Iranian attack, Israel claims that it was able to intercept 99% of the incoming attacks.
So how was Israel able to defend itself so effectively?
