Blog 3:
I absolutely loved our field trip to ECHO the other day. The day before I had worked in the Food Forest on campus so I was pretty amped up to learn more about my favorite plants and trees such as the Moringa Tree. I learned that the Moringa Tree has edible leaves that have tons of vitamins and minerals. I also learned that you can crush up the seeds and use them in a water purification process. I would love to grow a Moringa tree. We also learned that Cassava is used in 70% of the worlds carbs, as well as Chaya is an edible green that MUST be cooked because it has trace amounts of cyanide in it. Since I love to grow new things, especially from seeds, I found out about so many neat tropical climate plants that are not only beneficial to the environment, but to me as well and would thrive in SW Florida climate. From the food forest I have several passion fruits from which I can plant their seeds and hopefully grow a passion fruit plant. I also want to get a Moringa tree and a Pomello fruit tree.
