Abstract:

The UBC Botanical Garden will be used to demonstrate the wide range of possibilities for teaching using materials that are available in situ or freshly collected. An exercise in general systematics will use materials from the British Columbia Native Garden; the uses of plants as chemical sources will be examined with materials from the Physick Garden; the diversity of morphology will be examined using plants from the Food Garden; environmental and physiological adaptations will be seen in the Alpine Garden plants.
