Leadership Skill(s): communication
Problem: why do we plant flowers in a veggie garden?
Solution: look up online to find out why they are important
Test/Activity: Look up " why do we plant flowers in a veggie garden " and write a paragraph on it, then tell everyone about it!
Results: I have wondered for a while now why we had to plant flowers with our veggies. The answer is really easy, planting flowers in your garden benefits everything! Flowers attract bees and other helpful insects. Without bees you are going to have a pretty pathetic garden. Some flowers also get rid of pest, like marigolds! Lastly flowers make your garden pleasing to look at. Flowers are important in a garden! So we should always have a row of flowers in every garden.
Communication: I will tell everyone about this.
