Native Plants

Yesterday we had a visitor in our classroom, from Nature Vision. She was talking about native plants and how some plants from Europe got here, like the cat tail. Some of the things I learned are that the Europeans used plants more than animal skins. Also, the red Cedar was also known as the tree of life because it supplies so many things that you can use. The stinging nettle has hairs on the bottom that has the same chemicals that a bees stinger has! It was fun learning about native plants.
