Lifescouts: Horse-drawn Cart

Hi!

This badge is another one that doesn't come with a particularly interesting story.

During my elementary school years, I would go to daycare after school so that I wouldn't stay home alone until my parents got back from work. Then during the summer, I would attend that daycare for the majority of the day since no one could stay at home with me during the day. Since daycare was a summer camp of sorts, they planned random fieldtrips for us to go on so that we would learn something during the summer. Once of those trips was to a farm where they took us on a horse drawn cart tour of the property. The only distinct thing I remember from the trip was that we stopped in the road because our tour guide noticed this plant known for it's stinky smell. Basically, it smelled like a skunk if the leaves were damaged in anyway and that smell served as a protection mechanism. I also learned that day that if you make a hole in the middle of a weed with a rake or something and then put grass seeds in the hole, the grass will overtake the weed and all your weeds are gone. Just a fun tip for you guys, but I have no idea if it works.
