Hey everyone! My name is Amanda Wygant. I’m from a small farming community in Alaska called Kenny Lake. I’ve lived here the majority of my life but have also lived in Thailand, Italy, Georgia (the state), West Virginia and Colorado. I will be moving back to Colorado for the winter sometime this next month or so. I’m really excited to hike around and observe the different plants that live there. After winter is over, I will return to Alaska to my seasonal summer job cleaning up marine debris in Prince William Sound.
I am taking this class because I love plants, gardening, and foraging! I am very excited to collect berries this year! I’ve begun to find high bush cranberries and Saskatoon berries. I would love to learn more about using medicinal plants and how to properly harvest them as well as how they work with our body. I also hope to get my OEC in Ethnobotany.
Great job on these Amanda! The plant IDs are spot on and the plants turned out nicely, and all the info for the labels are there. For the perfect label you would also add the author to the scientific names, e.g. Aruncus dioicus (Walter) Fernald. Well done!
