COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course will combine classroom learning with community-based learning at a local farm and garden site. Our classroom learning will focus on various aspects of our national food system through an exploration of the Farm Bill.  When we are not in the classroom, we will partner with the Learning Gardens Laboratory to provide garden-based field trips for elementary age youth focused on food, farming and the land. As a student in this course, you will travel to the Learning Gardens Laboratory in SE Portland on either Wednesday or Thursday each week throughout most of the term to lead field trips from 9am-2pm. You are responsible for providing your own transportation to and from the site. During field trip weeks, we will not meet in the classroom on Thursdays. Please contact the instructor at celine@pdx.edu with any questions.
