Flowers are so beautiful, we bring them from the outside, into our homes to add cheer to a room. But there’s more to flowers than just good looks. Without them, plants could not make seeds, and scientists think the world would be much drier (and a lot less pretty). Dig up more flower secrets in this badge.
1. Uncover the science of one flower
2. Look under the petals
3. Find out how flowers help people
4. Have fun with flowers
5. Send a message in flower code
When I’ve earned this badge, I’ll know all that’s wonderful about flowers.

A floral designer came to our meeting and showed us how to make a bouquet. She talked about where she gets her flowers, how she works with customers. We also used pressed dried flowers (picked them and pressed between the pages of a book) to make a bookmark–heavy duty paper and contact paper with a ribbon–so easy. This is a good badge to do in the spring.
