You may have picked up valuable information at Addison Arbor Foundation’s February seminar on Square Foot Gardening, but now you can have that kind of knowledge certified. By signing up for Addison Arbor University, residents can earn a “degree” from the university-style program while learning more about gardening and protecting their environment.
Classes are held quarterly. (Next up: Irrigation Alternatives for Conserving Water, April 24.)
To be an Addison Arbor University graduate, participants must do the following:
- Take enough classes to earn eight credits.
- Complete these classes within a three-year period.
Four of the eight classes are mandatory:
- Composting
- Effective use of irrigation
- Recycling
- Addison’s plans for the “urban environment”: Overview of the parks department and current and future projects.
Elective credit will be given for attending any quarterly Arbor Foundation education session, not including mandatory classes.
A student’s start date will be the first class taken after enrollment. The Arbor Foundation will keep track of attendance but advises residents to keep records, too.
Upon completion of the program, students will receive a certificate and acknowledgement on the Addison Arbor Foundation Web site.
