Johnny Appleseed Day, celebrated on March 11, honors Johnny Appleseed, an American folk hero. His real name was John Chapman, and he was known for planting apple trees across parts of the United States a long time ago. He often wore a pot on his head as a hat and walked miles and miles to plant apple seeds wherever he went. People remember him because he loved nature and helped grow many apple orchards. On this day, people think about being kind to the Earth, enjoy apples, and learn how important plants and trees are to our world.
