About

Hello, I'm Elizabeth, a high school Junior. I have been pressing plants for 9 years. Pressing plants is basically a way to preserve a plant by putting it under a heavy object. Pressing plants is a fun way to get more sun this summer as well as learn about the plants around where you live! We will learn about the materials and process of pressing plants (nothing special required), as well as some problems you may run into while pressing. We will also go over the best times to pick plants for pressing and a couple of plants that pressed well for me. Finally, I'll give you guys a couple of ideas for what to do with your pressed plants! Session times are approximate and may be slightly over/under depending on questions and how fast I go through the content. Note: Please have your cameras on and participate using your mic. I want to get to know you! If you can't for any reason, please notify me beforehand. Also, make sure that you are able to attend both sessions.

Tutor Qualifications

I have been pressing plants since 2nd grade and have been doing it up until the present.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss any sessions. Both sessions are integral to the course; without the first session, you may not be able to do the activity in the second session and the second session shows what you have learned.
