Project #2 Remediate: Project & Documentation.

Documentation:

So for the biggest part of the is project was the research, the photo's, and then the placement. So i plan to follow that flow for this documentation.

Research:

ID	Common Name	Scientific Name	Plant Type	Height	Spread	Ecological Function	Human Use/Crop
1	Bloodroot	Sanguinaria canadensis	Perennial	8" to 20"	6" apart	Pollincator	Cause Vomiting, Empty Bowels, reducing tooth pain
2	Virginia Bluebells	Boraginaceae	Wild Flower	1'to 2'	???	Earlys Seasonal Nectar/pollen, Easy to grow.	once used for whooping caugh, tuberculosis, and other respiratory ailments.
3	Black-eyed Susan	Rudbeckia hirta	Annual (Sometimes Perennial)	12" to 39"	12" to 18" apart	Medical for animals	Treat earache, Treat dropsy
4	Anchistea	Anchistea Virginica	Perennial	Max 4' Feet	N/A	High density leaves provide more biomass.	Food, Medicine, biofertilizer, ornimental plants, remediationg contaminated soil
5	Sharp-lobed Hepatica	Anemone acutiloba	Perennial	3" to 6"	1" to 3" apart	Pollincator, Food	N/A
6	Dense Blazing Star	Liatris spicata	Perennial	3' to 4'	2' to 4' apart	attracting pollinators beneficial insects.	Once used for back/limb pain, Used to improve weak hearts
7	Poke Milkweed	Asclepias exaltata	Annual	6' Max	5' to 7' apart	Pollincator, Early Blooms, Used for food by butterfly larva	Wart Removal, roots cheweed to treat dysentery, treat swelling, rashes, coughs, fevers, and asthma
8	Nodding Pogonia	Triphora trianthophoros	Perennial	2 CM	3' to 5' apart	N/A	N/A
9	Royal Fern	Osmunda Regalis	Perennial	6" Max	2" - 5" apart	provide a source of food  or medicine for animals	Roots used to help with chronic conditions
10	Common Winterberry	Ilex verticillata	Perennial (Sometimes Annual)	3' to 15'	1' to 3' apart	Berries and Leaves are food for birds, but poisonous to humans	The bark is antiseptic, astringent, cathartic and tonic.
11	Sweetbay Magnolia	Magnolia virginiana	Perennial	20' to 40'	5' to 7' apart	Magnolia seed ripens in mid-Autumn and is eaten and spread by songbirds, wild turkey, quail, and mammals such as gray squirrels and white-footed mice.	used for furniture, cabinets, paneling, veneer, boxes, and crates (Hodges et al., 2010). It is straight-grained, can be easily worked, and takes finishes well
12	Flowering Dogwood	Cornus	Perennial	10 in -25 in	6 in - 12 in	valuable food plant for wildlife because high calcium and fat contents make it palatable. Many bird types including songbirds, forest edge species, and upland game birds (e.g. wild turkey) consume the seeds.	The fruit of flowering dogwood is poisonous to humans. reduce fever and relieve colic pains.

All my research for this project is here on this excel spread sheet. Spent so much time making sure these were non-invasive plants. The hardest part was finding human uses, but ultimately filled this up with more information then previously thought before creating this. Now it is still important people put info up on some of these plants due to the ill effects it can have on a human verses an animal, but they can benefit both sides when used properly.

Photo's:

Both pictures above show the area's intended for the project. Though while working on this, getting rid of all the unnecessary clutter of the satellite photo's. Taking it down to simple shapes is what will work best. Show only what is necessary for the project and provide just the basic's. Not much to this part besides putting it in Clip Studio's and lining everything out for what will go below which will be the placement.

Placement:

In the photo above, i have the art building made up of simple lines to convey a faux three dimensional shape. Each circle and square are labeled with the corresponding number to what plant is labeled with those numbers in the spread sheet. Each shape should also be to scale as well as different opacity to show things that can grow under the shape for trees. All are metaphorical placements, but all their placements should work well with the area provided.(If anything on here is too hard to read, i have a word document.)

Thoughts:

While finishing this project, i have shown serious signs of the COVID-19 virus halfway through spring break when i believe this is due. I know it will be late as I am trying to stay on top of other classes. Taking this project for what it was suppose to be, the imaginary idea of landscaping for the art building was an inventive way to make students research deeply on many plants that are native or not to the area of Virginia. It also had the class research uses, sizes, how fart hey should be planted apart from each other, and how they can benefit the world as a whole from he different uses. Closing this off, the project was slightly stressful with how it was approached and I do believe it could have been done much more effectively if it was drawn by hand. Still proud of how it turned out and would not think twice about how it was organized. Everything would grow so nicely and full without the problem of squishing.
