In this 8-credit summer class, we explore ways in which various types of gardens can contribute to community and health. Each week we visit medicinal, edible, community, and ethnobotanical gardens. We will interview gardeners, identify plants, strengthen nature drawing and journaling skills, and consider themes related to sustainability. Our work will consist of readings, seminars, workshops, and plant studies as well as community-based garden care and a small, related research project. This class is suitable for students interested in education, community development, health studies, plant studies, Indigenous studies, sustainability, ethnobotany, herbalism, and horticulture.
