Details about this class

We will spend much of our lab time working in the Sylvania Learning Garden, so be prepared to play in the dirt! Groups of up to 4 will design, plant, and tend a garden plot in the SY Learning Garden, for harvest and donation of the produce to the Panther Pantry.

Over the term, we will use a combination of classroom learning, lab experimentation, and hands-on activities to explore the world of organic gardening. Topics will include basic botany, soil science, pollinator ecology, composting, pest management, gardening techniques, and more.
