Visions, Goals, Plans Fall 2006Vision for the Camas Prairie Garden Site
The Potential for the Camas Prairie Garden Site as an Ecosystem:
Accomplishments: Fall 2006Site 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.
