“This class provided such a wealth of information and has laid a very robust foundation for my own learning in the field of horticulture / botany moving forward”
“This is my third class in the Horticulture Certificate program and probably my favorite so far. I'm impressed by the amount of material, concepts, and research we've delved into over the quarter.”
“I was completely new to botany at the start of this class, so pretty much all of the information covered in this class was new to me. I am so glad to have learned more about the cellular composition of plants, and the physical processes which support them and keep them alive. As a houseplant and container garden enthusiast, it was great to learn more about the factors that impact these plants in particular, especially light requirements and the plants response to lack of light + overwatering. It was also really great to have interaction with classmates through the site project.”
“Being that this was my first class in the Horticulture Certification Program and my first time in school in a very looong time I was a bit anxious, but the class was so enjoyable. The lectures were engaging and easy to understand thanks to Leslie’s knowledge and warmth. It’s given me a good foundation and sense of confidence to bring to my next classes.”
