Then, they moved into design analysis. Then, they figured out how to scale back their plans for something more manageable. It is part of the process, Hauser notes – nothing wrong with that. Part of any design process is discovering what is manageable and what isn’t – and then figuring out what can actually be created. “Even the

-Ivey and Haberle will benefit from more space to grow specimens for molecular analysis, ecological experiments and morphological studies. In addition, the greenhouse will provide space for a botanical collection that shows biodiversity and representatives of major taxonomic groups from around the world, meaning it also will free up some space at Haberle’s home, where she grows some plants for her courses—inside, and on her porch, commuting with them when she needs them in class.
