This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEA curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in
Gardening.
Hanging basket gardens are common even if you aren’t stuck in an apartment. Using your space wisely is just a good practice. Porches and patios are ideal spaces for a hanging plant. Even if they aren’t a food production variety, they can be used to add a bit of life to vertical spaces.
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
Plant it using any method that is organic or better.
You do not need to make the hanging system yourself.
Pot a hanging basket or other hanging plant system.
Monitor the growth of the plant.
To document and become certified for this BB provide photos or video (less than 2 minutes) showing the following:
- Show the materials prior to potting
- Show the fully potted plant hanging
- Show the plant after it has increased in size/growth
