Lincoln University campus: a guide to some of the shrubs currently growing there
Abstract
As with the first book “Lincoln University campus – a guide to some of the trees currently
growing there” (April 2008) the purpose of this guide is primarily to increase the awareness
for those people who are interested in plants of the Lincoln University campus. For some people shrubs can also be a learning resource, much like a library of
books is for others. In a library, books of course have a title and are classified in order that
they can easily be found. From there it is up to the individual as to what they may wish to
find out from the contents. Currently plants at Lincoln are known by some at different levels
of correctness, but for the majority providing the equivalent of a title and where you might
find them may be a useful starting point, from there people can choose to learn what they
may want to know about the plants. Labelling shrubs is another option, but for now, this
should be seen for what it is - a starting point for those who wish to find out more.
