Gardening with native plants

* Sample native forbs and grasses (shrubs?)
  concepts: habitat/ecosystem, adaptation
  - Silphium leaves/stems/seedheads, Baptesia pods, Eryngium...
  - Milkweeds/Monarchs in season
  - other items (see Private Parts)

* Other things:
  - tie in to history: pioneer experiences
  - tie in to science: effect of climate (including glaciation) and soil
    on vegetation
  - other ties: art (drawing), literature (Laura Ingalls Wilder)
  - disappearance of prairie from "prairie state"

* Slides or other visual aids:
  - reference material from other schools with prairie projects
  - pictures of controlled burn, prairie and savanna.
