Suppose you are asked to plant-sit. You'll have to know about plant care. How often should you water the plants? How much light do they need? Do they have any diseases? Make a list of plants that people grow indoors and outdoors.
Choose five plants from the list and find out how to take care of them. Make a chart of this information in your Plant Sitter's Guide.
