Due to maintenance, the water is turned off at the garden, and the bathrooms are out of service.
Scott Clem, PhD, assistant professor of ecology, Illinois State University In this course, you will learn how to identify common arthropods (i.e. insects and arachnids) that are commonly encountered in Georgia gardens. This class will equip you with the necessary knowledge and tools for distinguishing beneficial insects from those which are potentially harmful to the...
Paola Barriga, Faculty, academic professional, UGA Department of Plant Biology This course allows participants to evaluate plant-insect interactions in gardens from an ecological perspective. For instance, we will focus on the importance of maintaining plant and insect pollinator diversity and the ecological factors that may influence this outcome. Among the factors that will be discussed...
Melanie Flood, special project botanist, North Carolina Natural Heritage Program This course covers Georgia’s diverse natural communities and their plants, including our iconic oak-pine forests, precious mountain coves, prairies, high mountain summits, pitcher-plant bogs, granite outcrops and fire-dependent longleaf pine woodlands. We will discuss the environmental factors that influence the vegetation of natural communities, their...

Sabrina Sewell, botanist Explore the biology of plants in this introduction to general plant anatomy, morphology, physiology, evolution and development. This course presents the fundamental information about plants upon which other courses in the native plant certificate program will build, particularly Plant Taxonomy. With an emphasis on relating form to function, it surveys the origins of...
