The olive tree

Hello students,

Today my host teacher presented me with an olive tree. The picture below is the olive tree that was given to me.

Guess who planted the tree?
What does the olive tree symbolize?

    You planted that olive tree and it probably symbolizes coming together as a whole and just being together with peace.
