In Class: public space

My idea is to analyze the Botanic Gardens on University. I love gardens like that, such as the Arboretum in Dallas, and I've been wanting to check this one out.

I would suspect the gardens to be relaxing, quiet, and lush. I also would expect them to hold earth-kind values and recycling. I think I'd probably see yoga and art occurring there, and I'll most likely encountering mostly middle-aged women from my experiences at the Arboretum. They love flowers, what can I say?

I'm excited to go check it out because, consequently, I love flowers, too. Apparently there is also a Japanese garden there. I think it costs extra money, which could say something about funds they need to keep the entire garden going. That would also be a reason for holding a variety of classes there that cost money. Therefore, the owners are portraying an argument emphasizing their personal care for the gardens.

It will be interesting to see what other arguments I discover during my observations there, and, though I don't expect much, to see if there are any negative portrayals.
