ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. The purpose of plant labelling
- So that we know their names and can then give them the correct care.

2. Information that should be on the label
- Scientific name 
- Common name 
- Plant family 
- Date was planted
- Planter's name
- Make sure the information is easy to see

3. What is pruning ?
- Pruning is the process of of cutting away dead or overgrown branches or stems to promote healthy plant growth.

4. Benefits of pruning plant
- Promotes plant health : Helps remove the dead and dying branches from your plant. This allows the plant to have new growth. It also protects your property and passers by from damages of any kind. When you prune your plants, you keep away pests, which helps promote the plant's health. 


THATS ALL FOR WEEK 3. THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE !
