The NGC Gardening Study Courses consists
of a series of four courses, held about six months apart, scheduled
usually for two days of instruction, followed by a general examination
on the morning of the third day. Topics include basic botany, soils,
growing annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs, fruits and vegetables,
lawns, pests and diseases of plants, plant classification, pruning and
selected topics of local interest.
Although the courses are intended primarily for garden club
members, they are open to the general public, requiring only the payment
of a nominal fee. Garden club members completing the series of four
courses are awarded the designation of Gardening Consultant. Attendees
from the general public may attain Consultant status by joining a garden
club during the course series or shortly after completion.
