Whether you are looking to become a green industry professional, or just grow plants at home, this totally online course provides the basics of design, plant care, and plant problems along with a foundation palette of plants. The self-paced 3-credit course has two parts: text notes and plant information. The 36 lectures are grouped into modules on botany, design, culture, and pests and problems as they relate to flower and foliage garden plants. These include annuals, perennials, and other groups such as aquatic plants, ornamental grasses, roses, even tender tropical "perennials". Tests are taken on-line (on Brightspace), are open book and untimed. They are designed to test and reinforce your familiarity with and ability to use the extensive content, and to reinforce key plants, plant features and topics. Email contact between professor and students is used as needed and to share information.
