Our Summary* of Requirements:

- Explore flower science (dye a flower to see the root system, observe a potent smelling flower to see what visits it, OR research a flower family).
- Use flowers to help (make a healthy fruit snack, OR use aromatherapy like bath beads to see if they help you feel calmer) OR research how flowers help (research 3 different medicinal flowers/herbs).
- Make a flower art/craft (flower necklace, pressed flower art, dried-flower bouquet, OR fake flowers).
- Learn what flowers symbolize and send a message using flowers (bouquet, corsage, OR arrangement).
