Click the link by your name to your assigned page on the FLOR500 website to find the person you have been assigned and a small amount of information about the person. \n\n\nResearch this person to find out more about her or him.\nEither find or make an image of the person that can be uploaded to the FLOR500 website. The image must have an accompanying credit line with any copyright information.\n\n\nPROJECT STEP 2 – PLANT A GARDEN: \nBased on your research\, decide on a location to plant a public garden in honor of the person\, then using the seeds provided in class\, plant the garden! The garden should be in a location that is publicly accessible—but make sure you get permission to plant it! \n\nGuidelines for planting the seeds: \n\nHave permission!\nBring at least 1 or 2 people to help plant and document the planting.\nWrite a 250-­‐word essay explaining why you are dedicating the garden to this “Important Floridian” in this place. Share this essay with the people who help you plant so they know about the person the garden is dedicated to!\nPost a sign\, art object\, link to web page you create\, or use some other method to help people who see the garden know more about the person it is dedicated to\, and the reason for the dedication as you describe it in your essay.\n\n\nPROJECT STEP 3 – POST TO THE FLOR500 BLOG (On APRIL 22ND  or before) \nYou will upload the following to the FLOR500 BLOG: \n\nYour essay – use a 12 point Helvetica font so the blog stays consistent\nA portrait of the person you have been assigned (with creditline)\nPictures documenting the planting of the garden\nA picture of the art object or sign describing the dedication\nMake sure all your images are correctly oriented and not sideways before you upload them\nYour email address – this will not be posted but helps us contact you if something goes wrong
