Ethnobotanical Garden Plant Assignment

Hey Everyone,

I have uploaded the Ethnobotanical Garden plant description assignment to ELC, as well as the listing of plants in the Garden. Please comment on this post with the plant you would like to write about and make something with. Do not choose a plant that someone else has already chosen.

And don't forget, there is a blog assignment for this week below this post.

Week 10: Psychoactive Plants


Hey Guys,

We have been talking about psychoactive/entheogen plants this week. I would like for you to choose a psychoactive plant and talk about it on the blog. I would like for you to include the following information: botanical description, region of origin, cultural usage, and a picture of the plant or its use. Please do not describe the same plant as someone else, so check to see what others have posted about. To help, I suggest the website www.erowid.org . You may use other sources, but this a good starting point.

Week 9: Spring Sit Spots






Hey Guys,

Even though it is a bit cooler today, Spring is on its way. All kinds of changes occur with the coming of spring. Changes in vegetation, and insects and birds (as well as weather). So, please return to your sit spots and write about some changes that you notice. Spring changes can be large or small, so keep your eyes open, listen for different animal life and sniff out new spring smells.
