Nature 2017 Summer Camp The Garden Ecosystem… The Science behind Grandmother’s Garden!!

What is a garden?

What is a garden? A man-made landscape, A planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation, and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature.

What is a garden? It can incorporate both natural and man- made materials. Depending on which part of the world we live in, gardens can be grown throughout the year or just during the warm months of the year. Gardens can also be very exciting outdoor laboratories where all aspects of science seamlessly function to create a beautiful habitat!

Some famous historical and literary gardens… Garden of Eden (Biblical garden) Hanging gardens of Mesopotamia Botanical gardens of London Botanic Gardens of Oxford Garden of Versailles Castle (France) Ryōan-ji Zen Garden (Kyoto, Japan) Garden of Live Flowers (Alice in Wonderland) Tom’s Midnight Garden (Novel by Philippa Pearce) Capulet’s garden (Romeo and Juliet)

Types of gardens… Flower gardens Water/floating gardens Vegetable gardens Medicine gardens Zen gardens Market gardens Rock gardens Greenhouse gardens Kitchen gardens Community gardens Cooperative gardens

Types of Native American Gardens… Mother Earth Medicine garden Medicine wheel garden Three sisters garden Flower gardens/ prairie gardens

Science and art behind gardens… Requires the knowledge of multiple disciplines Concepts of importance include Ecology and interaction in the environment Soil characteristics, soil microbes and nutrients Climatic and weather requirements Design and landscape characteristics Plant species and their interactions with other organisms Pests and nuisance organisms

Today’s lesson Starting a garden is a daunting but exciting endeavor There are all kinds of decisions to make, but a little planning can go a long way. The goal of this lesson is: to understand the fundamental sciences behind the creation and maintenance of gardens. to look at ecosystem dynamics of gardens and the traditional and cultural aspects of gardens.

Activities for Today: Activity 1: Stuff in your garden Activity 2A: Soil Organisms Activity 2B: Soil Microscopy Activity 3: How to Start Seeds Activity 4: Garden Planner Activity 5: Edible Garden Soil Mosaic
