The last two photos were taken in the Aeroponics farm. It is a farm where plants are grown without soil. The pictures shows the way the plants are arranged and under what kind of conditions the plants are grown in. The plants are grown in greenhouses which can trap the heat. This makes the environment better for the plants grow in. The well, as shown in the second photo, has pipes connected to it to provide water for the plants, as seen in the first photo. The pipes has sprinklers that will spray water at the roots of the plants at 30second intervals. The roots are suspended as to allow unlimited air supply for the plant. The farm follows basic steps to grow the plants. For example, the butterhead seeds from Holland:-Firstly, the seeds are planted in a sponge and left in a dark room to germinate. -After 2 weeks, the plants (nursery plants) will receive more water as it lets the roots of the plant harden.-After another 2 more weeks, the plants are ready to receive more nutrients (sunlight).The Aeroponics Farm also came out with a drink called Lettucinno. it is similar to the coffee drink, Cappuccino. Lettucinno packs a punch too and helps keep a person more alert and it is healthier.

The first photo was taken at the Bollywood Farm. There, I found out about many different types of plants and learnt of the different types of leaves/plants that are use in different kinds of food. Take the Blue Pea Vine for example. The blue colouring that is used for nonya cakes are from that plant. The flower is edible and is sometime used for salad to beautify it. But we started the journey, the tour guide made us all drink water to hydrate ourselves. He also introduced a plant to us that repelled mosquitoes. It is called Citronella Grass. The tour guide also introduced to us some spices that were used for other kind of food and the food that they used for the famous Banana cake that they bake at the Bollywood farm. At the end of the journey, the tour guide made everyone sit at the tables and they served us Banana cake and milo. It was delicious
