Brookgreen Gardens

enjoy and learn the rich history that the historic place has to offer. During my role as an intern at Atalaya Castle, the winter home of Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington, at Huntington Beach State Park, I was able to abundantly understand how important it is to pay close attention to understanding the importance of explanation and conservation. While interning at Atalaya, I was in charge of completing several tasks that allowed me to appreciate how much work actually goes into preserving a historic home. From those many tasks, I also learned the various ways of interpretation, and was able to really interact with many visitors and absorb much of the history that pertains to not only Atalaya but also Huntington Beach State Park and Brookgreen Gardens. These activities that I had been given to complete allowed me to learn conservation skills, interpretation, educational and verbal skills, and also what career goals I have in mind for myself in the future. To understand my role as an intern at Atalaya, it is imperative to know the history behind the historical home. Huntington Beach State Park has been a place that I have come to many times since I was in elementary school. Even today, my family and friends camp here, usually in the summer. I have always really known the small details of the history of Atalaya. As a child, I would go through the house, and during that time, there was not really as much to learn about it as there is today. When I first started to take field…

your backyard. For this assignment I am proving the argument that the city council should only give native plants to the selected suburbs of Brisbane and not plants from other parts of Australia or the world. Using local native plants in your garden have a lot of benefits top offer, for example wildlife and better growth due to the local soil. Using local plants like a wildflower shrubs and trees for example are very much suited to our sandy alkaline soil because over time the plan t has…

I would use my $1,000 to help prevent obesity by opening up a small, low cost, nonprofit, community garden and garden stand. This garden would be run by me, my family, and the community. I think an ideal location for this garden and stand would be near the Princeville Heritage Museum which is also located less than a half mile from our school and within walking distance of most houses in town. By having the garden next to the school and museum, it would encourage students to pick up healthy food…
