Francisca's Seed Story

By Leah Poapst

Francisca Fazzio states that she has learned much about the process of how plants grow. In addition, she has also learned the effects that can make a plant die, and how to make them healthier. During some of the experiments, she was surprised when the plant prospered despite the mold, and how a plant can still grow after Arizona Green Tea has been poured into its soil. She told me that she enjoyed watching the plants grow each day, watering them and had a blast just being outside. Although when watering the plants, some insects grossed her out. The process of photosynthesis made Francisca think again how not only does the process effect plants, but life. She told me that if it weren't for the plants, life would not be as we know it. Francisca has enjoyed her first semester participating in The Story of The Seed project, and working in a team. She is excited for the following semester, and to keep observing her plants grow.
