When we discussed rain gardens in the curriculum, students were interested in seeing how they can implement rain gardens in these areas to reduce flooding.

Why are they measuring it? How much does this tree grow in diameter in the time span they’re studying? Could this measuring device hurt or girdle the tree?

How did this grow so quickly? (All this growth happened during last week’s class)


When I ripped up the plant, why were the roots in the soil so small in comparison to the plant? How did they seeds for the Tree of Heaven get here?

What would it take today to grow a tree such as this one?
