Giants Causeway and National Trust



Our third day at Cafre was an interesting one. We did a lot of stuff and it seemed as though we learned a lot about Ireland and its people, while also getting to see some spectacular views.



Our first event was a service project with the other MSU students who are staying here at CAFRE. We went out to some national trust land, in this case some estate land for a long dead Archbishop. The site was huge and had a temple with beachside property. We learned a bit about how American plant species are invasive in Ireland and are difficult to manage.



Our service project was a little disorganized, the steps on the walkway needed replacement and our job was to bring the rocks up to the area. There were a lot of students who were just hanging out. Also it smelled like garlic in the forest, because of the wild ramps that grew there.



After the project we went on a formal tour of the Archbishops house and property.


 The temple was gorgeous and is used as a wedding venue. I would do that in a heartbeat, such a beautiful place.

After we had lunch we went over to the Giant ’s Causeway, which was truly incredible.

 For those of you that don’t know, led Zeppelin shot there album cover for houses of the holy at Giant’s Causeway which was a joy to see the album art in real life. The entire time I was there I was making Zeppelin puns.

Also we learned yesterday that Cara is the most photogenic person alive, and we hate her for that.

Gilfresh and the AFBI

Image
Our last day was the most jam packed in terms of diversity. We started our day at a food processing facility. Gilfresh is a midsized vegetable processer that moves a lot of the produce in Northern Ireland. We learned a bit about how Northern Ireland is an extremely small territory, the entire Irish peninsula is smaller than the state of Michigan. Northern Ireland also has a very small horticulture industry, a majority of their agriculture is dedicated to forage grass for sheep. We got to tour their facilities and see how carrots straight from the earth are made into cubes for soup. we were not able to take pictures in the facility. We then headed to the AFBI research station for a cider tasting. These are the various ciders we tried, sweetness is an important factor in determining taste in cider. We toured an orchard and saw the differences in how Michigan apples and Irish apples are produced, they don’t need irrigation and their density is much lower.   Th...

Modern Use of Plants and Traditional Versus odern Horticulture Plant production

In last week’s class we learned about how agriculture has changed since the invention of “modern agriculture”. In post last week we saw the ancient history of agriculture, the invention of the wheel so to speak. In this week’s post we see a huge event that changes the world forever, WW1. During world war one we saw companies creating chemicals for use in clearing brush as well as chemical warfare, and when these chemicals were outlawed by the Geneva Convention the companies had to look for new markets. Agriculture. With small adaptations to the structure of the molecules we could take something like nerve gas and turn it into a new organophosphate and use it on insects. As a society we also invented the Haber-Bosch process creating artificial ammonia which we could use as a fertilizer. Norman Borlaug came on the scene in agriculture and the green revolution took off, using the chemicals for a purpose of feeding the world. Good intentions do not always work out in your fav...

History of Horticulture

Image
This last week we covered the history of horticulture. Considering agriculture and horticulture are so intertwined our story begins at the dawn of agriculture 12-8 thousand years ago, when we first domesticated wheat. There isn't much written record of ancient history until we get to the Egyptians, who through the use of Hieroglyphics and paintings have one of the most detailed record keeping styles of the modern world. Their largest use of horticulture was for the production of wine, (alcohol goes way back?!). However we also see elaborate garden design for the very wealth Egyptians personal use. When we look at the next two big empires we see that the Greeks and Romans contributed to horticulture by their brilliance and their implementation. The Greeks made tremendous strides in medicine and botany and the Romans implemented the techniques of crop rotation and nutrient addition as well as “high density systems”. With the dark ages we see not a halt in agriculture o...
