Flowers of The World Project

You will be choose a country to research that is known for its impact on the floriculture
industry. Your task is to create an extensive research presentation covering many
different aspects of your chosen country. Your presentation may be a PowerPoint or a
Prezi. The length of time you must speak is 4-5 minutes. Don’t fret! You will have plenty
of stuff to talk about if you’re doing this project correctly. You will also need this time to
make sure you get all materials gathered for Part 5 of your presentation.

This project will consist of 5 parts.

● country.

produced.
● Include all the equipment used in the production process as well. For example:
Lavender is grown in fields like corn is. List how the farmer prepares the field,
how they plant lavender (is it done by planting seeds like we do corn or is it done
by setting plants like tobacco is done?), etc.
