The Gardening Club, run by Mrs. Kari Moore, teaches the students how to plant and care for the plants. They first planted the seeds of their choice, like herbs, fruits, and or vegetables, into pots. After planting the seeds into pots, they start to bloom. Once they bloom, it is time to put them in the ground. They plant them in the flower beds, also made by the school. They water and take care of the plants, making sure they don’t die. The group decided to sell their products and focused on creating partners, like the cooking club, chicken, or egg project. They built a stand to sell products, and have learned how effectively communicate with one another in this process. Hannah and Emma take this club very seriously. They are the leaders of this club. They try to do everything possible to make this club the best experience possible.
