This class is designed to help people become better gardeners. This term will begin by covering gardening basics including soil, nutrition and watering. In the weeks following we will go through the identification of over 100 ornamental plants and edible flowers; we will also cover several ways of creating compost and will dedicate two classes to pruning techniques. The final two classes will cover gardening problem diagnosis and solutions. Note that specific topics in Tropical Gardening vary by term. The basics and problem-solving classes are offered every term; others rotate by term.
