A place worth remembering

Plant-care guidance for the campus garden

Course notes published in 2023 describe the National Campus in Palikir as an extended ethnobotanical garden. Their care guidance asks gardeners to leave smaller shade-giving trees in place and work carefully around ferns during cleanup. The author singles out a sun-loving invasive grass and a native vine described as aggressive among the main threats to the plant collection.[1]

A regional collection at the Learning Resources Center

The 2024–25 catalog locates the Micronesia Pacific collection in the National Campus Learning Resources Center. The catalog associates its Micronesian focus with wider Oceania materials and includes documents linked to the Secretariat of the Pacific Community.[2]

Two basketball courts with different uses

The catalog distinguishes the main basketball court by its seating for up to 1,300 spectators. A second court is set aside for practice and has a stage at one end.[2]
