This course has given me a much deeper understanding of gardens and agroecosystems, how damaging conventional growing methods have been, and how a holistic organic approach offers many advantages, benefits and opportunities. Particularly, I'm grateful for the way you and the other instructors presented the practice of organic gardening within the context of a bigger picture, including ethical considerations and providing important reminders of the limits of the science.

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites for this course, but please read on:

It is highly recommended that students have previously completed the Organic Master Gardener Course, or plan to take it following the Ecological Landscape Design Program, especially if they engage in professional practice. These courses are complementary - but while a normal gardener may not need extensive knowledge of design, it is essential that a professional designer have extensive knowledge of gardening.

Plant knowledge in the student's area of interest is an asset.
