Because after в when you mean in a month, Russian uses the prepositional case.
- апрель = April
- в апреле = in April
This is the normal pattern for months:
- в январе = in January
- в мае = in May
- в апреле = in April
So В апреле sets the time frame: In April.
Любить + infinitive is a very common way to say that someone likes or loves doing something.
So:
- мама любит сажать = Mom likes/loves planting
It works much like English likes to plant or likes planting.
In Russian, this construction often describes:
- a habit
- a preference
- something someone enjoys in general
Here it means this is something she generally likes doing in April.
