In this 6 week multi-day course, learners will design, prep and plant a fall garden. Learners will have the opportunity to learn how to utilize measurements specific to garden design, including understanding the importance of utilizing color, shapes and dichotomous keys within their designs. Learners will identify companion plants and types of gardening for the best outcomes of their fall gardens and we will also discuss the pros and cons of starting from seed vs. plant start. Learners will be able to utilize all skills learned during this course, immediately and in their gardens for life. I teach very conversationally - I love to have engagement with learners and I encourage participation through sharing stories, experiences and more. I will often have a short lesson that is ppt based combined with a hands on activity. Week 1 - planting zones, fall gardening goals and current temperature - knowing the basics are imperative to success! week 2 - garden design - bring graph paper, colored pencils, mechanical pencil and a good eraser to class today week 3 - more garden design - adding in the final touches week 4 - starting from seeds vs. starting from plants pros and cons week 5 - garden prep - fertilizer, types of gardening, and weeds... oh the dreaded weeds! week 6 - planting the garden!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am limiting my outschool teaching this spring to some horse judging sections.
I am primarily running the marketing department for my family business, but LOVE horse judging so I am taking some time to add back in a few sections when I can.
