  • Flower Power
    FLOWER POWER IDAHO BOTANICAL GARDEN WHAT IS A FLOWER? INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVE: When students finish this project, they will have gained respect for the beauty of flowers and appreciate their ecological and practical importance. INTRODUCTION Dear Teacher, The Idaho Botanical Garden is an outdoor learning environment. We want to make your visit comfortable and enjoyable, and ask that your students are dressed appropriately for the weather and have water, especially in the warm weather months. TERMS Angiosperms: Flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed in a fruit. Anthers: The boxlike structures at the top of stamens, where pollen is produced. Botanical garden: A place where plants are collected and displayed for scientific, educational and artistic purposes. Fertilization: The union of male sperm cells and female egg cells. Filament: The stalk of the stamen. Flower: The reproductive structure of an angiosperm. Fruit: A ripened ovary conaining seeds. Nectar: The sweet liquid produced by flowers to attract pollinators. Ovary: The hollow compartment at the base of the pistil which contains ovules. It develops into a fruit containing seeds. Ovules: The structures in a flower ovary that can develop into seeds. Pistil: The female part of a flower; stigma, style, and ovary. Pollen: A yellow, powder-like material containing sperm cells. Pollen tubes: Tubes that carry sperm cells from the stigma into the ovary. Pollination: The process of pollen coming together with the stigma of a flower. Pollinators: Animals which carry pollen from one flower to another. Seed: A structure containing a baby plant and its food supply, which is surrounded by a protective seed coat.

  • The Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana Area Economic Profile
    The Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana AREA ECONOMIC PROFILE prepared by Dr. Larry Swanson, Associate Directori O’Connor Center for the Rocky Mountain West The University of Montana May, 2001 This profile provides a description and assessment of the area economy of the Bitterroot Valley of southwestern Montana. Changing conditions and trends in the area economy over the course of the last twenty to twenty-five years are examined, including trends in population and employment growth and associated income changes and economic restruc- turing. Changing conditions in Ravalli County and the Bitterroot Valley are compared to those for the larger Rocky Mountain West region and nation as a whole. Various measures of the Bitterroot area economy also are systematically compared to similar measures for areas throughout the western United States having similar characteristics to the Bitterroot Valley. Two types of “peer areas” are selected for this purpose: 1) non-metro areas in the West nearby small and intermediate regional centers of 30,000 to 100,000 people, and, 2) non-metro areas nearby small and intermediate regional centers that are also nearby large concentrations of Forest Service lands. Major Findings and Observations Southwestern Montana’s Bitterroot Valley is the central watershed of the Bitterroot River, which flows north through the valley toward its confluence with the Clark Fork River near Missoula. This 1. Population Growth - During the 1990s, Ravalli County was the fastest growing county watershed is largely defined by the boundaries of Ravalli County. County boundaries also define in Montana and became one of the fastest growing counties in the entire United States, the outer boundaries of the Bitterroot National Forest.

  • Water-Wise and Native Plant Demonstration Garden
    LaBonte Park’s Outdoor Learning Center Water-Wise and Native Plant Demonstration Garden This collaborative effort was undertaken in fall 2007 to showcase the wide variety of water- wise plants that can be grown in Laramie. Most are also well-adapted to other locations in the state. These drought-tolerant species can be used in naturalistic settings or in more for- mal gardens. Either way, you’ll end up with a landscape that uses less water, takes up less of your time, and looks great! Updated 8/2012 N The north side of this garden is dedicated to plants that are native to our area including the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains re- gions. Note: This map will be revised every 2-3 years. It may not be to- tally accurate when you visit but it will be close. The south side con- tains water-wise plants from the Rocky Mountain region and beyond. Water-Wise Demo Bed List of Plants (listed by map number) PERENNIALS 84.
