Botanical Gardens

I'm not sure if it was just the really cool guide we had or maybe I was just really cold but learning about all of the different plants and what they did for the development though out the years for medicine really was quite interesting.  Most interesting is how some plants must be taken in just the right ways and it can help quite a bit, but if taken wrongly could cause severe consequences.  It was nice to know that they did not have any dangerous or prickly plants to run into, as far as we could tell, but its definitely interesting to realize just how much nature can evolve to both protect themselves as well as turn into the predator for a change.  It was also interesting to see the tree that had been growing underneath another tree its whole life and decided to grow sideways to get to the sun, as opposed to being underneath the shadow of the other tree, the plant just need there sun.  As far as the guide though, definelty the best one we have had yet, not that any were bad, but he just gave the tour a great sense of humor and you could tell he really cared to be tree and to teach us all about his beloved garden, I would definitely recommend him for any future tours be it on ones own or for a future school endeavor.
