I’m doing a project to see if constructing a very simple greenhouse-like structure would help the people in Ethiopia grow their plants easier. I need plants that can be found somewhere like Lowe’s, for instance herbs and stuff. Just as example plants. What kind of plants should I use?

Why Ethiopia? I mean, we don’t have issues on growing plants. A few months ago when we celebrated our New Millennium, 70-80 million trees were planted all over the country.

Maybe you should change your research to what the indigenous Ethiopian trees are, and how to get their seedlings to the farmers or whatever population that wants to plant them.

I had them last year in my garden and I can’t remember what those flowers are called. I’ve also seen them with orange petals and purple centers. They kind of look like shasta daisies. The one thing I know for sure is that it’s not a cone flower.
they aren’t gerberas, cause they don’t come like that

You seem to be describing a daisy. Another option could be aqualegia. hard to say with the detail provided.
