Curt's Corner: Planting the seeds of learning at Ethnobotany Teaching 
Garden
By Curt Swift

Last Friday and Monday, the Ethnobotany Teaching Garden at the Mesa County 
Fairgrounds started to take shape. Friday's planting activities involved 
getting in several clump aspen trees, three ponderosa pines and six 
freshly-dug pinyon pines.

Last Monday, thanks to Jeffrey Zentlin.s class of 23 kids, five 
Cercocarpus montanus, three Sarcobatus vermiculatus, three Juniperus 
scopulorum, seven Ephedra viridis, five Yucca baccata, nine Gutierrezia 
sarothrae, three Atriplex canescens, three Atriplex confertifolia, three 
Ceratoides lanata, six Chrysothamnus nauseousus, seven Artemesia 
tridentata, three Amelanchier utahensis, five Rhus trilobata and five 
Linum lewissii along with the remaining Populus tremuloides went into the 
ground. If some of those names are not familiar to you they should be. 
They are all native to western Colorado.
