Patricia's Seed Story

Patricia's Story of the Seed Experience

                  While Patricia Silvia already had a tenacious grasp on what biology entailed, in the course of the last semester she found out she had even more to learn. For instance, when we first met and sat down at our lab table for the very first Patricia still remembers the first time we ever laid eyes on out packet of little seedlings. This is when we learn the scientific name and what kind of climate it would need to thrive in. We spent most of that period pouring over the bits of information that the packet had to offer. Moreover onto the actual garden which Patricia remembers enjoying the germination part of the lab because it gave her a chance to really talk with and get to know her teammates. She was moved when our plant first started to grow and we were able to see our product of labor come to life. After that she couldn't help but ask herself are these plants even edible? Patricia remembers silently chuckling to herself and then proceeding back into the classroom.
