Every garden is a small ecosystem, and the more we understand ecological interactions occurring in our landscape, the better gardeners we become.
For beginner to advanced home gardeners, join us in forming a foundational understanding of ecology—from a general overview of systems to a deeper dive into water, soil, and wildlife in the garden ecosystem. Join us first in the Visitor Center Auditorium for a lecture, venture out into the Gardens to gather some field evidence, then reconvene in the following weeks for additional class time.
Certificate Information
This class counts toward the Horticulture and Gardening requirement for Landscape Design.
