홈스테드 가든: 3주 과정

Join us to learn more about homestead gardening.  Students will watch related videos or view slides created by the teacher as we discuss gardening on the homestead.  Each class will include optional after-class activities.  The teacher will send out related links after class. Students are encouraged to ask questions during class.  

Topics include:  Planning the garden, Starting Seeds, Planting, Herbs, Harvesting, Storage, & Preserving.

**Students will receive YouTube video links after class on the message board.  These are there for students who want to rewatch (or watch the whole video).  

About the teacher:  I have lived on a homestead my entire life in the mountains of the Inland Northwest (garden zones 5 & 6).  I grew up on a multigenerational orchard/homestead.  My husband also grew up in this lifestyle.  When we married, we started our own homestead.  Currently, we have three cows, six sheep (plus lambs), 25 chickens, three cats, and three dogs ... (I think we like the number 3.  lol).  We plant a large garden every year, and our small orchard has pears, cherries, apples, plums, and peaches (yum).  We are currently on-grid, but we'd love to be more off-grid in the future.

**Policy**
Per Outschool policy, if a student is more than 10 minutes late, it will be considered a missed class and not eligible for a refund.  If no students have arrived at a group class by 12 minutes after the start time, I will end the class. If a student needs to cancel class, I will offer a reschedule when possible or issue a refund, as long as I am notified more than 24 hours in advance. In the case of a teacher scheduling conflict, I will offer to reschedule the class or issue a refund for the missed class. 
Thank you so much for respecting my time. :o)
