This is a seasonal WebQuest. Gardening activities are included for each season.
Introduction
    Your teacher has just introduced the same old boring topic of plants. Moans and groans are heard throughout the classroom. "Not again! We've been learning about plants since kindergarden." "Are we going to plant another seed in a cup and watch it die?"
"We already know everything there is to know about plants."
So -- you think you're "Master Gardeners" ?
Well? -- You are responsible for the school garden. It is your job to teach others how to prepare the soil, plant, nurture, harvest and make use of the products.

How will you become Master Gardeners?

GOOD LUCK !!!
