INTRODUCTION
The campus of Stella Maris College is home to a large variety of plants that create a sense of serenity and calm in the midst of the stresses of daily life. The lush green campus is the habitat of many feathered friends, butterflies, and other insects that inhabit the grounds, hover amidst the shrubs and leaves, and wander around the wet land area of the NCC grounds.
