Students of different European countries will exchange seeds, tips for better growing of the seeds/plants and record some environmental factors (precipitation, humidity etc.) which have influence on the growth of plants. After planting and following growth and development of the seeds, data will be exchanged to draw conclusions about the best circumstances to grow the particular seeds.
