Hello everyone!

I hope you are all as excited for this class as I am. My name is Destiny and I am an accounting student at UAF in my final year of my degree. I was born and raised in Alaska. Outside of school and work, I love to paint and draw portraits. I also like to incorporate flora into my work. I enrolled in this course so that I could learn more about my art’s subject matter, and to gain a better understanding of flora overall. I am currently in Juneau (normally in Fairbanks) and the climate is very different here. I love all of the different types of flowers and trees and hope to learn more about them through this course as well.

Here is what I have for my microscope.

I look forward to learning alongside you all!

Best,

Destiny

Hello Class! My name is Hudson Bolduc and I am a junior at UAF currently pursuing an interdisciplinary degree in horticulture management. I am very excited to take this course and hope to be able to take the foundational knowledge taught toward my future career in cultivation. I am currently the Garden and Greenhouse supervisor over at the princess hotel and lodge. We are growing several strains of lettuce, spicy mix, bokchoi, salanova, arugula, thyme, dill, parsley, garlic, tarragon, zucchini, basil, tomatoes, raspberries, strawberries, yellow gold potatoes, sunflowers, marigolds, peonies, and much more! All of the produce grown on the property is also taken to the kitchen and prepared for meals in the Edgewater Restaraunt. I am stoked to learn more of the proper terminology and language about how to describe and discuss plants and their root systems. Very excited to dive deeper into this course and start dissection as well!
