I love how everyone in this class worked together as a community. We all came from different backgrounds and disciplines and that made for a much richer experience. I fed off of the creative energy of the other students and was not afraid to bring my own creative side to the projects and activities.
It was particularly easy and wonderful to see all the sharing in a botany class. Plants are an everyday part of our lives, particularly in the food that we eat. We all contributed things to eat and share, and it made us think more about where our food comes from and how it gets to us.
I loved creating the seed papers for everyone. It was a lot of work, but I don't get to work with my hands often enough, and so much of myself went into making it - my teacher side, my gardener side, and my crafting side. My partner helped in the making, so even that was a communal effort. I hope that they grow and flourish in the future!
We shared more than just food and gifts in this class, but we shared our personalities and inspirations. Working on the fern rubbing with Alexis we had to troubleshoot from our original idea of just doing a rubbing of a fern and eventually wound up with a really neat finished product.
We were going for something like this:

These were our many failed attempts (from right to left):
The conversations and communal projects among students of varying backgrounds made for a really unique and enjoyable experience.
