YOUR CHALLENGE:
It’s time to become an Eco-Designer! Imagine a special flower – not just any flower that you see in your backyard, but one uniquely made to make your community better. Your challenge is to design a brand-new flower that helps bring nature right into our busy city spaces. Choose a trait of real flowers, like attracting bees and butterflies, cleaning the air, or making yummy fruits, and take it to the extreme.
