Why I spent all of last summer watering trees......
I spent most of yesterday at work pulling together information about the tree trail, kind of a final report, since the project is **finally** nearing completion. I hope.
Anyway, some statistics about the landscape projects we've done since I started this job amused me:
From 2000 - 2002, we've planted 336 trees on campus, representing 56 species or varieties. In the same time period, we've planted 643 shrubs, representing 24 species or varieties. And these are just the projects I was directly involved in; I've not kept track of plantings on inner campus.
Out of the numbers above, I have personally planted (in smaller renovation projects) about 35 trees, and probably 75 shrubs. Forgot to write down how many species. And, I've planted about 10,000 bulbs since I started here, about 2/3 were crocus, daffodils, and dwarf iris that are naturalized through various landscape beds.
