Beginner Level
In this interactive weekly class, students will learn how to grow a garden with food and flowers to share with their family and friends. Students will create, plant, grow, problem solve and share. This class is a mix of practical, hands on gardening and classroom style lessons. Classes will change depending on seasons (in winter we might do more preparation and planning and design for the warmer seasons and come spring we'll get out planting with tips for early harvesting). Within the 50...
Students will learn about permaculture and gardening, they will learn how to design and plan a garden map, and keep a diary for referencing. Students will also learn how important pollinators are and how they can encourage these wonderful creatures into their gardens. They will also learn how to reuse and upcycle materials into useful and productive resources for the garden.
I studied Environmental Science and Marine Biology at Boston University and received my teaching degree in Australia. I have worked on and completed multiple permaculture courses, learning how to design efficient garden resources with limited and recycled materials (in accordance with the permaculture principles) and teaching permaculture courses.
Homework Offered
Homework is not mandatory but I do encourage the students to continue their garden journals. The classes could just be a stepping stone to create something else, which is wonderful! It is about using the ideas learnt in class to develop skills to solve problems and look for solutions in sustainable, reusable ways as much as possible. As a garden is alive and needs to be tended to grow, students will also need to water their gardens (when needed) during the week.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Handouts will be sent out regularly. These will include all new lessons discussed and taught in class. Please have some paper and pens and pencils (colored) ready in class. A journal for keeping track of your gardening journey. Gardening tools: secateurs, gloves, small trowel... A curious mind and open hands. Get ready to get dirty and create some home grown food for your family and friends.
Safety precautions needed: Garden tools may be used. Secateurs are sharp and should be used carefully. Gloves are encouraged when working in soil. Garden soil and potting mixes may contain air borne particles and care must be taken when using these items. Masks and gloves may be worn if preferred. Some classes will involve cutting plastic bottles and will need sharp scissors or blades for cutting. Hammers and other tools might be necessary (ie. staking items in the ground).
