Abstract

As we graduate from college and move into adulthood, it is important to understand how to manage and connect with the nature around us.  Our project is an informative pamphlet that is designed to educate people about the value of nature and the many ways that it benefits individuals in their daily lives.  This brochure highlights the importance of native plants, local ecosystems, and the benefits of supporting biodiversity.  Additionally, our project offers plant identification tips and several budget-friendly strategies that are perfect for young adults who are beginning to manage their own spaces.  By bringing together environmental, historical, medical, and financial perspectives, our project demonstrates how deeply nature is connected to different aspects of adulthood.  Overall, our goal is to encourage increased appreciation and interaction with the natural world.
