INTRODUCTION
In accordance to Republic Act No. 9053 Section 2 that states “Scope of the practice of Landscape Architecture” refers to the act of planning, designing, specifying, supervising and giving general administration and responsible direction to the functional, orderly and aesthetic arrangement, changing and development of natural scenery and land areas to produce the most desirable effect for human use and enjoyment of various outdoor spaces which consist of landscape components and the softscape of plants such as gardens, sports fields, playgrounds, recreational grounds, camping sites, resorts, national and public parks, historical parks, squares, memorial parks, subdivisions, parks and parkways, zoological and botanical gardens, greenbelts, cemeteries, plazas, patios, yards, outdoor shopping and pedestrian malls, promenades, sidewalks, roads and walkway systems, traffic islands, easements and circles, roof and open interior gardens and courts, and other open spaces; the protection, conservation and rehabilitation of the natural environment and scenery to enhance the ecological system and quality of life.” We propose a botanical garden inside the STI OrtigasCainta Campus. This project will be connected to the Philippine Landscape Architecture Act of 2000. This will also help the Philippines a much greener place, teach the students how to take care of the nature, and help the culinary students lessen their expenses. Although there are already grasses and trees in the school campus this will have a different effect and advantage on the students of STI.
PURPOSE
The Earth has evolved with a beautiful nature in it. In the past decades the Earths’ nature has been declining its beauty and its advantages on the Earth. The reason for its declining is because of the man-made pollution. To avoid the total destruction the earth’s nature people must do all they can to restore the earth’s nature. To do it by preserving the forest, building botanical gardens, and more. By doing so, we are saving a beautiful future to our future generations.
Building a botanical garden will help the earth be a greener place. Helping the Earth restore its nature back will be a big help to the people living and for the next generation. Planting trees helps the earth’s pollution be lessened and it will produce more oxygen.
Having botanical gardens in schools will help the students appreciate and respect the nature more. We can notice that people nowadays ignore its benefits and get frustrated when the nature is almost gone. Making a movement that will help the people appreciate their surrounding will help to preserve these kind of things is the next generations.
Students who are Culinary can also plant their fruits and vegetables to lessen their expenses. By doing this we are avoiding the big inflation in the foods being bought in the market. It will also help the students learn how important it is to have raw ingredients in their future careers..
Helping the Earth be a greener place, making students learn to appreciate the nature, and teaching students the different importance of it will help for the betterment of the future.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The goal for the botanicals is seperated in 2 different aspects. Short term and long term goals, These goals affects the students as they were to be. One of.the short term goals for the botanicals is for the students to have a source of vegetables. The problem in today’s market is the vegetables prices sky-rocketting that has doubled and even tripled compared to the old prices, with the botanicals in hand culinary students can save some money for dishes required in school ; this kind of things not only affect the budget of the students but can also teach them the little parts of nature inside the school
Many students suffer from major stress due to cluster of school with short due dates. The long term goal for the botanicals is for students to have a place to relax in, stress is a modern day problem, many students have complained for the pressure school gives to them. The botanicals can be treated not just as a source of vegetables but also a garden where they can walk around and hang around at in their leisure time. The splashing green scenery and smell of dewy soil can help students relax the stress from everyday stress piled up.
Objectives of the botanicals:
*A source of vegetable for students
*for students to learm how to appreciate nature inside the school
*to freshen up the school
*to have a good effect on how students handle stress in general
METHODOLOGY AND TIMELINE
Botanical gardens are one of our most important resources for knowledge and collection of the floral around the world, But the Culinary Students come up with the idea of having a botanical garden but instead of concentrated flowers we decided to plant more vegetables than flowers for STI students to appreciate the natural resources and for the culinary students to reduce their cost and just harvest the vegetables that they need in cooking when they’re having a laboratory in STI Ortigas-Cainta.
The Culinary Students will find individuals who may be able to help and support the garden and organize a discussion of why a botanical garden may be desirable in the STI Ortigas-Cainta and what kind of design would be the best to have.
The Culinary Students will first start in establishing and monitoring the budget and the project schedules and timelines. Then, we will have our procurement, consultants and constructors to obtain the needs for the preparations of building a botanical garden in STI Ortigas-Cainta.
The Culinary students will also have their monitoring in the risks and quality of the botanical garden, also overseeing and managing the project scope, keeping a close watch on changes, continuous or uncontrolled growth in the project’s scope at any point.
Ensuring the effort and expenditure are appropriate to expectations are also be monitored
Resolving differences and disagreements during the project development process is also included in our methodology.
The Culinary Students will start their meetings with the people who can help and work with them to support their concept and have an ability to help them organize the ideas and concept that they want in October 10, 2018.
On October 20, 2018 the Culinary students will start to buy the materials and equipments that is needed for building a botanical garden.
Setting up the things that is needed for planting the seeds, organizing the garden and planning a specific design that can make the plants and flowers more presentable will be stated in October 25, 2018.
On November 05, 2018 the culinary students will start to plant the seeds of plants, flowers and vegetables when the botanical garden is ready to be planted.
Then, in the next month which is on November 15, 2018 the culinary students will hire some persons to take care of the plants, flowers and vegetables in the botanical garden.
The Culinary students will also give their hired worker their monthly salary for their hard work.
After finishing the botanical garden the culinary students will having their daily monitoring of the plants, flowers and vegetables in the botanical garden. Also, the Culinary students will have their weekly monitoring of the money they spent in the botanical garden and in the salary of the workers.
The Culinary students will keep close with the changes and uncontrolled growth in the project monthly, so that if there is a problem that will be encountered, the culinary students will resolve it as soon as possible.
BENEFITS AND ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES
Botanical gardens are gardens that are often use of physicians and other botanists, but then they can progressively become more associated with ornamental horticulture and the needs of the general public or for all of the people.
The benefits of this botanical garden is, it can help students to be a nature lover also it can produce different kinds of vegetables that can help student to save money that also can use to the culinary industry. This botanical garden can give culinary students additional information about planting and caring foods. This can also help them in way of growing plants that they can use when starting a business. This botanical garden is not just for tourist who wants to see a nice of view of plants that are in one place, it also can give relaxation to them. The botanical garden is made for the students for them to learn something new, also for them to learn how to give respect to the nature or their surroundings. This can help them to be responsible in taking care of plants and the environment which they can benefit in the future.
The botanical garden in school is not just for them to learn in planting and caring of plants, but it can also help the whole environment. Planting different kinds of plants or trees can also provide oxygen that we needed, it can help in removing carbon dioxide and other air contaminants, and last it can help in social, economic, and other environmental issues. Now a days many school is in urban part of the country which is full of high buildings and pollutions, so in way of making plants grow and making botanical gardens it can make people feel good because they are not just surrounded by buildings but also plants that are also a great view for many people.
Botanical garden are often seen in wealthy people’s places that can afford this but this kind of garden is not just for wealthy people it can be for students and for their neighbourhood, they can plant tree that can significantly increase their property values. School and other places with tree or garden that is full plants are very attractive to many people. It’s a great thing that students and many people can play a role in planting trees that they can use in future and for their business, also to help offset deforestation and urbanization.
SUPPORT NEEDED
To Seek the Approval of the School
Administrator
To be able to build the botanical garden inside the school campus is to gain the support of your school’s administrators. Before announcing the meeting, we would first visualize how we can contain as a part of a whole or to include the garden into the standards – based curriculum as a hands-on interdisciplinary teaching tool, which is a make – or- break element in receiving approval.
The Process of Having Your Own Team
For The Botanical Garden
Once the school administrators approved to build a botanical garden in the school, we will find people to build it because building a botanical garden is in need of agricultural engineers, architecture, electricians, and construction worker. The team will be needed for a building the botanical garden for safety measures and precautions.
Teachers
Involving other teachers in garden efforts is very important. Teachers are valuable contributors because they have a firm understanding of curricular goals, know your students well, and have access to school facilities and supplies. Additionally, it’s more fun to approach the garden as a teaching team, and it takes the burden off one educator to keep the program alive.
Maintenance Staff
Many teachers have noted that a good relationship with the custodian is critical to a successful garden program. The custodian can help you find valuable resources like storage closets and water sources. Also, because the maintenance staff frequently works year-round, they can help keep an eye on gardens during breaks and vacations.
Students
Teachers across the country have discovered that when students are involved in all stages of the process, they are more invested in the project’s success and inspired to care for and respect their schoolyard oases. The students will learn how to take care of the nature.
