Organic Gardening Certification Course
The Michigan Folk School, in partnership with the Washtenaw Community College, is now offering an Organic Gardener Certification Program. This program will provide instruction and practical training in organic gardening practices, sustainable agriculture, and farm-to-table food production, designed for the needs of homesteaders, small-scale farmers, and those preparing to work in farming and food production.
Classes can be taken individually or as a series leading to a certificate. Individuals must complete eleven (11) classes from the list below, a final exam and a 18-hour volunteer component, on an approved farm or urban garden, will receive a certificate in Organic Gardening Certificate from Washtenaw County College. Students will have a year and a half to complete their class and volunteer hours. Organic Gardening Certificate students must buy a course pack, which is only available for purchase at the Michigan Folk School. A separate per class course pack can also be purchased for for non-certificate students, if desired. |
