1
Nail four lengths of wood into a simple square (a square photo frame would also do).
2
Divide each length of the frame into equal thirds, and mark these points with a pen.
3
Pin four lengths of string across the frame to divide the quadrat into nine squares.
4
Place the quadrat in random areas of a field and record the flowers square by square.
