So the kids circle through each of the different activities when they arrive. <br />18 <br />19 Andy Petesch: Ms. Brewer, did you prepare a list of resource reference items that you refer to in <br />20 your education on growing flowers? <br />21 <br />22 Kara Brewer: I did. <br />23 <br />24 Andy Petesch: And is this that list? <br />25 <br />26 Kara Brewer: Yes. <br />27 <br />28 Andy Petesch: A copy. <br />29 <br />30 Kara Brewer: Thank you. <br />31 <br />32 Andy Petesch: Would you tell the Board about how you use this, these materials? <br />33 <br />34 Kara Brewer: It's just what I used in my overall flower research, and then I have gone to workshops <br />35 and growing schools and things like that that in addition, there's just some really great resources in <br />36 North Carolina, specifically, over at NC State.
