What Did a Plant Ever Do for You? 3 “P” Credit Course* Are you interested in learning about the fascinating world of plants? Explore the beautiful gardens and collections at Brooklyn Botanic Garden and gain an understanding of the value of plants in natural and human history. Through an inquiry-based approach, we will discover how plants are built, how they work, and how they interact with the living and nonliving components of the diverse environments they inhabit. Emphasis is placed on experiential, authentic learning that participants can readily bring back to their classrooms. In-person classes run 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday–Friday. An additional 15 hours of asynchronous work will be assigned, beginning on August 11. Fee includes curriculum materials and resources, plants and potting-up supplies, and access to the Garden.
