Project Pansy
Co-leader: Anna S.
We were never able to get our flowers. We sent an email and a letter to Ferny's, but they haven't responded, so we couldn't get a donation.
Everything was going well until we mailed the nursery asking for a donation. We had visited the nursery and decided which plants we were going to use. When we went to the nursery we learned that we needed an email from Mrs. Fitz in order to get a donation. After about a week passed with no reply, we took a printed copy of the email to the nursery. It's been months now and we probably can't expect a response now. We had no control over whether Ferny's replied or not. We could have gone to the nursery to ask them where they were in the process of donating to us or we could have found a different way to get the flowers. In the end, we decided to start a new project and hope that they would contact us while we were working on it.
Next time it may be a good idea to choose a project that doesn't depend so much on someone else. We didn't even find out whether the nursery was willing to donate or not.
Our next project is to organize a classroom clean-up project. We will find teachers who need help in their classrooms after school and then find people who will do it.
