Hello I'm Dalia.

Favorite Recipes

Students,

I have decided to skip a blog post assignment for Thursday/Friday. However, Thursday's cookout inspired our next blog topic, for which a post is due Sunday/Monday. By Monday evening, please write a post about your favorite recipe. Please post the recipe and explain in paragraph form why the recipe is your favorite, and what significance it has for you (why you picked it, what it reminds you of, etc.).

I look forward to sharing recipes with you!

Prof. Teri

P.S. Remember that your homework due Monday is to choose a "hot topic" for your argumentative essay and create a complete outline with your main idea, arguments (your side and the opposing side), and details to support your arguments. Use the notes we took in class and your writing packet to type up the format for your outline. You will also have to research to develop your arguments. Good luck!

Eddie: Garden Tour

How many gardeners help to maintain the flowers and plants?

We have 6 gardeners taking care of a different zone.

Could you tell us a problem you had in the garden?  How did you handle it?

"Well, once they wanted to put grass in a new area, and I went to talk to the dean to plant flowers insted of grass, so I told him that I only needed $3000 dollars and I convince him."

Sustainability:

The drainage network is design very well to have sustainability, so if it rains the water do not block up.

Some of the plants are donated.

Curious facts I learned:

There are some areas where they cannot plant or dig because there are cables.

“This plant spreads like crazy” which means It grows all around very fast (hilarious expression!)

“People when they first want to start a garden, they freeze because they are afraid plants won’t grow up or it won’t work. But, they have to believe everything you do will work”

Flora, Flowers, Fauna and Sustainability Tour at Campus UW-Whitewater

In this Tour I saw different kinds of flowers around the campus. The campus has 6 gardeners and each one is  in charge of one different a area of the campus and they decide what kind of flower plant. 

The sustainability department no only is in charge to create projects how can help to conserve water, but they almost all have some aspect of financial savings to the taxpayers. This department is in chard of some important activities here in the UW-Whitewater, like:

• Repurposed containers
• Harvesting rain water
• Bioswales (are landscape elements designed to remove silt from surface runoff water.)

The waterfall was part of some kind of project of Sustainability?  

No really, this project was made thanks to donations (money, flowers and material). The purpose of this project was redecorate the campus.

 Who pay for all the sustainability projects, here in UW-Whitewater?

Everybody, all this is possible thanks to donation of people.

Garden Tour

This day we made a tour on the gardens of UWW, our guide Steve Bortinelli, the person who is in charge of the gardens and sustainability program on UWW gave us a lot information about his work, also he answered the next questions:

1.- How many kind of plants and flowers there are on the campus of UWW?
   Over 100 for all, some flowers are wild, we didn't cultivated but we adopted as part of our garden, because we are cheap (laughing in this last sentence).

2.- Since when you stared cultivate flowers on the campus? 
     Around 15 years, I've been working here since 2000, the gardens were very different, but we still working on many projects and  improvements.

3.- Could you give us an example of sustainability used on the campus?
     Sure, the fountain's water is pumping constantly, we made this to not waste clean water, as well the vases which are on the lamps were can trash one day, but we decide give it other use, it's a way to save money, because... We are cheap! (continuing laughing)
