EXCO 151 - Garden ExCo

1 credit
This class will be an introductory course to gardening! We will be using the Johnson House garden as our teaching lab. The J-House Garden is run by the Resource Conservation Team (RCT). We are a student-run team that aims to reduce waste and promote environmental sustainability and awareness through the dorm compost program, food rescue, the Free Store, and other initiatives. We will cover everything from garden planning to seed starting to harvesting. Students will learn about a variety of topics, including but not limited to: Planning a garden spatially and temporally; learning a history of land and agrarian practices; composting, watering, weeding, the works; teamwork in an outdoor, physical setting; slowing down, relaxing, and appreciating life through the framework of gardening.
