Program Description

Looking for a comprehensive and immersive program exploring regenerative design, gardening, and farming?  The Garden Apprenticeship Program is designed with self sufficiency in mind, exploring regenerative and restorative design theory as a foundational pillar for sustainable garden and farming techniques.  As a ten week program, participants will meet once a week to pair conceptual theory with hands on application opportunities.  

As a participant, you will be introduced to theory and concepts in the classroom and in turn apply it at the College's greenhouse, as well as the local Romney Street Urban Garden.  The program will begin with the integral role of soil and build into a variety of sustainable agricultural techniques and methodologies. The purpose of this program is to equip you with the skills necessary to be self sufficient, implement your own unique designs, and to garden and farm with ecologically, socially, and economically restorative techniques.  


Our meeting times will be held Thursday of each week from 3-5 pm, excluding spring break and holidays.



Deliverables:

Certificate of statement of completion
Comprehensive overview of Regenerative Design Theory & Hands on experience
Sustainable gardening and farming knowledge + experience
Community networking with local organizations, experts & businesses

Please fill out the google application to the best of your abilities.  We are looking for self motivated and passionate students who are willing to commit to meeting once a week, and to become heavily immersed in learning concepts and attending hands on opportunities.  This program is an immersive experience and is meant to provide you with practical skills you might not otherwise learn in a University setting!
