Evaluations

This is a very intensive course of study. Students are expected to:

• Attend at least 95% of all classes
• Satisfactorily complete all assignments
• Study and practice 6-8 hours / week
• Actively participate in class study groups and provide constructive feedback to fellow students
• Read beyond the assigned readings to acquire a solid understanding of organic horticulture.

There are no exams in this course, as the emphasis is on developing practical skills and the ability to synthesize information. Student evaluations are based on attendance, participation, and quality of assignments. Upon successful completion students will receive a Certificate in Ecological Landscape Design.

Student Comment

I am very grateful for the Gaia College courses because I can actually answer the questions that my clients have and sell them on things they didn't even know existed!
