Exploring plants in such an upclose way was genuinely such an impactful experience! I felt filled with such awe and wonder about the beauty and intricacy of the natural world, literally looking at life up close. Time really flew by and I found myself feeling like there was not anything else I would rather be doing. I had felt like trying to memorize the botany was a bit tedious, but now I am keen to learn more. Not to sound too flowery (pun intended!), but I just wanted to convey what an awesome time I had. When something really sparks me like this I try and be mindful of it, to see how I might grow and expand it. I used Thinglink for my dissections, but am including a favorite photo of each plant just for the pleasure of it! Iʼm grateful for this class and the ethnobotany program.
