Plants in the Center Bed

This is the bed at the center of the sayuyay garden. The center of this bed represents Qwi'li or western red cedar (Thuja plicata), which is at the center of the lives of the Skokomish People. This bed, designed by Evergreen student, Natalie Bower, was constructed of hypertufa and coated with special pigment provided by subiyay, Bruce Miller. The tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), white sage (Salvia apiana), and common sweetgrass (Hierchloe odorata) represent plants traditionally used to bridge the material and spiritual worlds.

Site and Name Recognition of Prairie Plants

When I started this quarter, I knew the following plants by sight: violet, paintbrush, lupine, camas, chocolate lily, nodding onion, western buttercup, yarrow, and a few others.

I now know by sight or by name most of the plants that we have been given, in addition to a few others that I have been called to journal. I have really gotten into journaling lately, have pushed through a psychological barrier. I had journaled so much before, I had lost momentum, but with this whole new world of plants to study, I have gotten really interested in learning fresh. When I had been journaling before, I had usually known alot about the species I was journaling already. It is much more enjoyable for me to journal now, because everything is new and exiting.
