Primary school children have opportunities to learn about sustainable gardening at school, including the Organic School Gardens program provided free to all Australian school students by Biological Farmers of Australia, but younger children can also have a lot of fun learning to grow their own fruits and vegetables. Although they have a shorter attention span, [...]

I am trying to organize an event for the kids in the kindergarten classes at my son's elementary school. Hopefully, I'd like to plant a couple of trees and have the 3 kindergarten classes come out for a little hands on info-seminar and send...How are you folks with fungi id?
I've got a bigleaf maple I take care of with evidence of fruiting bodies. On the same site, albeit several hundred metres away is a lombardy poplar in severe decline with what appears to be the same species of fungi fruiting near the base.
Again, poor quality pics. First pic is the lombardy with the fruiting bodies...second pic is the bigleaf. Didn't have my...Okey doke. My first post here, and I'd like to get your expert advice with regards to id'ing a shrub that has had me perplexed. I think its either a dogwood or a viburnum of some sort, but have yet to narrow the species down. It has pink flowers and exfoliating bark, as you can see.
Oh, and sorry, poor quality pics, forgive the phone!

More......I've seen this tree while travelling in Mediterranean (though it does not seemed to be a native tree); I would love to have it in my garden too. Any ideas on what it is? Many thanks for your help.Hi,
Can anyone identify these 3 plants? They were all found on Burnaby Mountain recently.
In a couple of the pictures the flowers look white, but they were all actually a light purple color (white balance issues in taking the photos, I think). Thanks. JasonI live in Southern California. I have this huge avocado tree that bears delicious avocados and recently discovered a white flaky, kinda moist substance on several areas of the large barks. Initially, I thought they may be termites because the white substance has the consistency of when termites burrow through wood. However, there is no damage to the bark aside from just this growth on it. Also, I...More... (http://blog.biodiversitylibrary.org/2012/08/interested-in-improving-access-to.html)I'm trying to identify the plants in these pictures. Both photos were taken in California. The one in the sunset photo was taken in Redding, and the other in the Yosemite Valley.
Both are 2-3 feet tall and were in bloom in early July.
Thanks in Advance for the help!
CheryleEven almost all trees are now with fruits, some of them are prepared for flowers or have second bloom. We are still waiting for Tetradium glabrifolium, Schefflera delavayi, Skimmia × confusa 'Kew Green' in bloom.
And not only Heptacodium miconioides(Seven's sons) is in bloom right now.
Lagerstroemia fauriei outside of garden just opened a few flowers, not much yet, but for exotic and not...Nadia and I were joined by Allison for part of our visit today, a FOG (Friend of the Garden), so I had two guides and twice the fun. I forget who Allison said had done all the work to clear this area under the Quercus myrsinifolia, and I also forget what's missing, but it looks very welcoming and we were able to get a good look at the acorns.
