Re: landscape design/garden study classes

Ceres: I would be most interested in those addresses...thanks a bunch!
Say...did you get much snow? We finally have a couple of inches on the
ground...it came with a lot of ice at first so all the local schools
dismissed early...and with temps. in the mid to upper 20's, the
neighborhoods were filled with kids outdoors all yesterday
afternoon...it was great!

Melody, the landscape design & the garden study are held each twice a year 
and both are each four sessions (usually Thur & Fri class, Sat test). All 
four sessions are rqd but in any sequence.  The test is not a rqmt but it 
seems to me if you are making the effort to learn you would want to go the 
extra mile to be certified.  You may take the classes even as a non-member of 
a federated garden club by paying a member-at-large fee.  The LD class is 
held at the Iowa Arboretum, Madrid, Ia and the Garden Study has been held  
there also and at Reiman Gardens at ISU.  Instructors are usually ISU hort 
personnel and must be approved by the natl program.  A professor from Chicago 
was teaching at my last renewal of my LD study.  Renewal is rqd one session 
each five years but no test.  Students (male & female) come from all over the 
state particularly for the LD.  The goals for this program is to prepare you 
to serve your community on a park bd, tree bd or some other city planning 
effort as well as for your own use.   I took these when I was still working 
using vacation time and I think it was well worth it. If you are interested 
in taking either I can give you email addresses of the coordinators.
