Again a local Native American Master Gardener arranged the meeting. There was no apparent difference in responses due to the sexual composition of the two groups. Although individuals varied in amount of response, all participants spoke freely. Describe an attractive home as far as plants are concerned. Plantings that are energy efficient, living snow fences, look good around a home.
House plants are important and attractive in a home.
All agreed very important. Homes with no plants can be an eyesore and stand out. Preservation and growing were very intertwined, to separate these issues in teaching is probably a mistake. The Fond du Lac group felt they were 5's or most active, some even rated themselves 7 or 8. The discussion on food preservation did not come up.
