During this six week online class , you will learn about the art and science of growing food through a flexible online learning classroom featuring lessons taught by certified agriculture teacher, Farmer Katie on her educational farm and homestead. Each week the instructor will cover a new topic with a video that has been recorded live on her non-profit educational farm. Through the fun and engaging FlipGrid platform, you will interact with the teacher and other students. Video lessons filmed on the farm are typically about plants but there will be guest farm animal appearances as well. Guest animals include Princess Layla the hen and her sisters as well as dwarf goats - Willy, Billy and Tina. Students are encouraged to share their own questions and observations to enhance their learning experience. Students can watch weekly lessons and interact within the online classroom whenever it fits into their schedule. This course will cover not only the anatomy of plants but also sustainable techniques that can be used on gardens of any size. These principals of sustainable agriculture will add to the success of growing food in all spaces from one small raised bed to acres of land. The information provided in this course will give students a deeper understanding of how plants work and how we can work with them to create sustainable and productive food production systems. There is an OPTIONAL In-Person Class on the first and last day of class from 3-6 pm.
