Clearing of Area

The first day in the morning, the student trainees cleared the area of the learning

site. Clearing of area included the trimming of dill plants and cleaning the path way in
the middle of the COA building. Trimming was performed to avoid the dill plants from

view in the learning site. Cutting grass scissors from the college was used to trim the dill

plants. Dill plants was trimmed with approximated 2 ft. height just enough to make it

appear as an ornamental in the pathway of the building. Afterwards, the weeds that
