Botanical Garden Observations On this Wednesday evening at 1800 on October 05, 2016 I am at one of the most prestigious popular hotels on the Las Vegas, NV strip. I am at the botanical garden where a new world is created with flowers and other natural resources to create wonderment for the current season; each season is changed and every year is different. While inside the botanical gardens I first want to soak up my environment with my eyes closed; I can heighten my senses to the various sounds and smells and get a varying perspective on my area. Once I experience the area with my eyes closed for about ten minutes I then want to touch as much as I can and look around. I relax and soak up the experience, the smells and how my perspective changes…
The Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden here at UCLA provides visitors with a substantial amount of plant life. The garden contains plants from all over the world and from different environments. The presentation of this wild life gives visitors a sense of nature around the world but in deeper inspection one can see how unnatural this arrangement can be. While visiting a place like botanical gardens, one mostly is conscious of the natural processes of plants and wildlife, it is almost as one is…
Incredible growth and development was cultivated from a monumental storm event during the summer of 2013. The first 11 days of July 2013 recorded 20 inches of rain. During the following two days, July 12 and 13, an additional eight inches of rain fell but in a very short period of time. This amount of rain within such a short period of time resulted in a flood of unprecedented proportions for the South Carolina Botanical Garden. The devastation that occurred to the plants, animals, and…

There are so many reasons why I chose this particular thematic unit, students and teacher interaction with one another, students will get the experience of learning, through using their fine and gross motor skills as they begin to grow plants and vegetables using their hands and interacting with other students to pick what they have grown or planted, they will use reading skills by reading picture books of plants and gardens and…
A raised plant bed is elevated and sits higher than the its surrounding ground. Many things can interrupt the ability of plant growth in a raised garden bed: materials, bugs, and even the products that are being used. To some extent, we can control how strong we want our plants to grow. The most modern stage in the development of plant bed design today for raised beds filled with fast draining planting mix, which are ideal growing environments for vegetables. Therefore, using a deeper plant bed…
English/4th Period 26th January 2017 Kew Gardens by Virginia Woolf Summary The beginning of Kew Gardens starts off as a description of the garden. It puts a strong emphasis on the colors of the flower petals, leaves and the soil in the garden. The colors red, blue and yellow are repeated a great amount along with the shape of the flower?s leaves. Then introduces a snail, who is a recurring character throughout the story, as he moves slowly across the ground. The story moves on to tell about men…

There are many different ways and things that everyone can to do help and serve the community. I had the privilege of helping in the Sabre Garden which had various different jobs for everyone to do and help participate in.

It also ties in with civic engagement and I felt like I made some progress with getting together with many other people and working together. The Sabre Garden is a community garden for…

your backyard. For this assignment I am proving the argument that the city council should only give native plants to the selected suburbs of Brisbane and not plants from other parts of Australia or the world. Using local native plants in your garden have a lot of benefits top offer, for example wildlife and better growth due to the local soil. Using local plants like a wildflower shrubs and trees for example are very much suited to our sandy alkaline soil because over time the plan t has…
