Wren Sullivan, 16. I volunteer in the community greenhouse, press flowers into art, and compete in the Biology Olympiad. Currently growing: 47 houseplants and one enormous dream.
Every project documented in my field journal β sketches, measurements, and the occasional pressed beetle (sorry).
Spore-to-frond experiments in the greenhouse. 30 baby ferns and a very proud spreadsheet.
