ENSC 180 - Applied Sustainable Landscape Horticulture

4 Credit(s)

This primarily field-based class will allow students to study and practice the way human beings—as individuals and societies—can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. The course is designed to introduce students to the scientific principles of sustainable landscape design and horticulture. Students will become integrated in the campus gardening and compost project where their research and findings will become part of a long-term experiment monitoring and testing microbial succession and species composition of soil used in the garden. Students will be evaluated through the application of quizzes, exams, group and individual projects.
