Intern Meeting 1/31/12

Hey Interns,

Great Job last meeting!! Just to recap, I talked with each of you about your proposals and to start researching your topics. Emily, You are doing "Natural Ways to Protect your Garden from Rabbits" Which will include building a Barn Owl home as well as using #6 Dudlei edulis, for your experiment. I have already purchased the wooden stakes, netting and ties to block off half of your plants. Keep me updated on your Barn Owl research!!

Nick, We talked about composting. We liked the wine barrel idea. I will attach a website with awesome ideas that we can do. I also talked with Andy, another instructor here who is excited to help and he really liked the idea of cutting out a circle of the wine barrell and putting plexi glass in to see. So I need you to research types of composting (what is the best for us) and what we can and cannot compost and a list of supplies needed to fulfill your project. I can easily make signs and buy compost bins for our break room and lab rooms. Also, how to get it kickstarted. Think of a snazzy name for your project as well!

Kristine, You are doing Why Native Plant Gardens are Important. or How to Build a Native Plant Garden. including drought resisitance, and other adaptations these plants may have. Give common names and scientific names and WOW facts!

I bought a hedge trimmer and am super excited to try it out!!

Great Job All!! and remember to get your maintenance hours in !! come in any time!
