Questions for the Garden Visit

1.) What is growing in the garden now?

2.) What kind of crop is this and why was it planted?

3.) HOW do these plants (and all plants in the biosphere) play a significant role in the major nutrient cycles (biogeochemical cycles) we have been discussing in class? Draw a diagram to help support your answer.
