Course modules viewed online as availableONLINE Advanced Food Gardening Series
Have you learned a lot of basic gardening skills, but you are still looking for ways to increase your knowledge? The Advanced Food Gardening Series might be right for you!
The series is designed to increase the food gardening skills and knowledge of participants, as well as enabling them to teach others basic food gardening topics. Presentations are primarily focused on methods appropriate for the home gardener, although there will be components that address commercial production scale topics as well.
The classes will include lectures, class projects and field trips. Participants in the Online class will receive access to the Advanced Food Gardening Class Website, which will contain recordings of the lectures, copies of class notes and handouts, and links to extensive background reading and resource lists.
Participants in the online class are invited to participate in live classes and field trips as it fits their schedule. There will also be two live (either online or in person) Question & Answer sessions scheduled during the class.
Classes may be viewed online at the convenience of the participants. The class website will remain available until May 1, 2017 to accommodate everyone's schedule.
