Campus Healing Garden Guide
by Eric Gonzalez-Payne

The class writes the guide the school then uses. Twelve plants, one page each, produced properly.
Each page carries the name in two languages, a drawing, the traditional use, and a caution line. The caution line is required, not optional, and writing it well is the hardest part of the task.
The page has the entry template, the plant list to adapt, and a compilation plan. Bound together and left in the office, this becomes a document that outlives the class. Ours has been reprinted three times and is handed to new staff, which the children who made the first version still bring up.
