Research Topic: Rumors and Gossip

I want to research peoples perceived notions of certain areas of the arboretum. Peoples perceptions of cleanliness, naturalness, function, aesthetic, etc will be explored.

So where does the gossip come in? I'm confused about how your title relates to your subject. Rumors involving cleanliness, naturalness, etc?
You know how much I love gossip... Because I'm pretty sure that I saw you in the arboretum doing something unbelievable. But seriously, that's an interesting idea. It would be really funny to have people tell their most outrageous gossipy stories involving the arboretum.

I think this could definitely tie in to my idea of the private ongoings in the arboretum - ways it can be / thought of being used - how people perceive their existence / place in the arboretum at any given time

oooh. this does sound neat. there's a lot you can cover with this topic- suicides, sexcapades, drugs... (those are the rumors, right?). i dunno. but i guess you'll be telling us all soon!

Sounds like an interesting topic that covers a wide range of topics. Do you plan to poll people or just ask around. And which rummors and gossip will you be focusing on. Can wait to hear about your findings.
