Construct a Taxonomic Catalog

Assess your assigned garden according to this general taxonomic system: M1 Masses masses S1 Horizontal Surface surfaces of and on the earth S2 Vertical Surfaces surfaces standing on the earth E1 Vertical Elements

bjects standing on the earth

E2 Path Elements vectors on the earth M2 Mass-Less Conditions pointless points Develop specific subsets (i.e. M1.a-d and S1.a-e) in the taxonomy based on the particulars of your garden. Produce this full and specific taxonomy with material quantities as a .doc format catalog. The catalog can be illustrated. The file name should be, “XXX_Garden_Catalog01.doc”
