Historically, educational gardens have proven to be significant additions to school grounds, universities, museums, aquaria, zoos, science centers, environmental centers, state agencies, and local communities. It has been suggested that a garden surrounding the Davis Mountains Education Center (DMEC) would be of great benefit to the existing programs. The garden will be used for the identification of over 180 different species found in the Trans-Pecos Region. It will serve as a tool for launching any number of educational programs, such as: plant anatomy; economic value of plants; medicinal applications, or even hands-on ethnobotanical demonstrations. This “Sky Island” garden will be arranged in zones to demonstrate the different plant communities found at specific elevations within the Chihuahuan Desert Region of Texas. Brochures for self-guided tours and a database will allow visitors to learn more about native plants of the area as well as complement educational programs by providing innovative ways of teaching at the Center. Supplemental to the primary thesis proposal of designing an educational garden was a 3 x 2 factorial experiment designed to discover the effects of two different types of mycorrhizal fungi inoculants on the growth rate of three herbaceous perennials native to the Trans-Pecos Region of Texas. The value of the study served two purposes: (1) As an initial investigation to explore the use of commercial mycorrhizal inoculants for native plant propagation and revegetation projects; and (2) to implement scientific materials and methods that could be applied to educational programs.
