The
NGC Gardening Study Courses are designed to provide information on
topics of interest to those especially interested in gardening,
horticulture and related topics. The program 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.

gardening consultant notice of good standing.
