  • Horticulture inclusivity for BIPOC

    Type:
    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    Abstract The current infrastructure of horticulture in the United States of America, lacks BIPOC representation. The purpose of the review and research is to address the effects of white dominance in horticulture and combat the current system to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for BIPOC in horticulture. By juxtaposing past, present, and future contributions to horticulture from BIPOC individuals to the current concepts exhibited in horticulture we observe 3 things: The contributions of BIPOC ideas to Horticulture, the current representation of BIPOC individuals in horticulture, and the theorized future with solutions applied. This research is based on existing diversity equity and inclusion research seen in other fields, which theoretically will apply in the same context with horticulture. Under this assumption, it can be understood that horticulture is not the sole perpetrator in non-inclusive work environments for BIPOC but is rather a subcategory of the many organizations and communities within the United States that are systemically oppressive to BIPOC. Keywords: [BIPOC, horticulture, diversity in horticulture, inclusion in horticulture, colonization, culture, anti-racism, equity, colonialism]

  • How Can Accommodating Curiosity in Garden Design Foster Learning and Play For Children With Disabilities?

    Type:
    Student Work
    Description/Abstract:
    This research investigates the effects of gardening and interaction with plants in the development of children's intellectual and developmental skills, specifically inclusive of children with cognitive and/or physical disabilities. The project dives further into the inclusivity of accessible features for children in playground and naturescape design. Drawing inspiration from Ballam Bumps, Arlitt Children’s Garden, and Els Sensory Art Garden; it is important to understand the value of high-intensity areas and low-intensity areas, as well as design that is versatile to a broad spectrum of ages. Children should form these relationships with plants from an early age, and the proposed design reflects the different learning styles/abilities of children with differing sensory needs. All of the listed elements are incorporated and considered when redesigning the Boone County Arboretum’s Children’s Garden, and shown through a series of designs, inventory & analysis.

    Description/Abstract:
    Methods of cultivating and propagating L. williamsii are available on the internet and in academic journals. In particular, five, L. williamsii specimens were observed and their growth rates and overall vitality are determined. Furthermore, particular soil mixtures, temperature and humidity control, light, and moisture are crucial for growing individuals from. Variations in grafting stock are present, in particular, Pereskiopsis, Hylovereus, Tricho, cereus and Myrtillocactus. Among literature review, it was found that L. williamsii growth and seeding is dependent extremely dependent on pollinators, temperature, and precipitation in the wild. In terms of yielding L. williamsii specimens with the fastest growth rate and highest likelihood of survival in the wild, the graft stock to be used is Trichocereus and Pereskiopsis.
