The Herbarium at the University of Louisiana Lafayette

One of the focuses of my project is to create a paper room with drawings of native Louisiana plants. Viewers will be able to enter the room and sit inside of it surrounded by the drawings. The drawings will be on layers of architectural drafting/tracing paper.  

I have an appointment to meet with Garrie Landry of the University of Louisiana Lafayette Biology Department and curator of the herbarium at ULL.  I am looking forward to seeing the plant specimens.  The ULL herbarium specializes in specimens from the Acadian Region of Louisiana.

ULL is part of the Louisiana Native Plant Initiative.
