Course Catalog Description:
This fully online course focuses on the principles and practices of growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs with an ecological approach. You'll explore basic botany, soils and compost, species and variety selection, planning and design, container gardening, pest management, season extension, and more so you can approach your gardening projects with confidence. We will begin by taking a look at the fundamentals of organic gardening, then move onto an overview of basic plant science principles. Following this introduction, course content will focus on how these principles can be applied practically in the planning and management of an organic garden, whether that be in your yard, on your patio, or at a school or community site. This course isn't so much about memorizing facts as it is about you becoming a well-informed gardener who can make educated decisions and seek out reliable answers to questions or problems that might come up. The course is presented entirely online and makes extensive use of discussions, interactive activities, worksheets, and multimedia projects that get you immersed in a host of gardening topics. Short video segments in each module highlight key topics and provide information to guide you as you work through the readings, activities, and assignments.

Geophytes are early harbingers of spring. In this course, we will examine the variety of herbaceous perennial spring-flowering crops with underground storage organs (geophytes). As spring progresses, different genera and species predominate in the flowering landscape. In contrast, greenhouse production of potted plant and cut flower geophytic crops can be simultaneous rather than sequential. This course will consist of hands-on taxonomic identification of geophyte crops, their uses in landscape design, and production essentials. The course will be hands-on, experiential learning with many visits of outdoor landscape, gardens, production greenhouses, and interiorscapes.

The course is taught in part with 20-50 minute online lectures; usually 2 or 3 of these are covered each week. The class also meets once a week for a combination lecture and wine tasting/sensory session. Guest lecturers will be involved to explore certain aspects of the course including grape vine biology, morphology, genetics and breeding, as well as sensory evaluation and wine components, and the subject of soils and so-call "terroir" or regional identity, including the relation between grape cultivar, soil, climate, and cultural practices. Prerequisite: Enrollees must be 21 yrs of age by date of 1st class meeting Enrollment Restrictions: Open enrollment to undergraduate students ONLY; graduate students, masters students, and others will need instructor permission.
Class Description:
Upon completion of this course, each student will understand and have knowledge of the following concepts: The process of fermentation and its role in wine production; fundamental principles of biology and culture of the grapevine; types of wine and their production differences; the major grape-growing regions of the world, the most important grape cultivars in each region, and the characteristics of the wines produced in these regions; systematic evaluation of wine sensory characteristics; understanding commercial wine labels; the basic aspects of plant anatomy, using the grapevine as a model; the major genetic factors in grapes that contribute to wine quality; how cultural and environmental factors affect wine quality and yield; selection, planting, and cultivation of grapevines in a home garden; current issues involving wine and human health; and current social and legal issues involving wine. In addition to lectures, discussion groups, and sensory evaluation (tasting) sessions, the course will include one scheduled Saturday field trip to the Horticultural Research Center (part of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chanhassen) to visit the vineyards and our research winery.

Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. Millions of acres across the United States are devoted to turfgrass. Home lawns, parks, athletic fields, golf course, and other turf areas play an important role in environmental quality. Homeowners have little knowledge about fertilizer and pesticide use, irrigation, and mowing. Although the impact of an individual homeowner may be small, the effect of millions of acres of home lawns can be significant. This course will focus on sustainable turfgrass management for the home lawn. The content will be presented in a fashion that focuses on environmentally responsible turfgrass management. The course will begin by presenting an overview of basic horticultural principles and then focus on turfgrass-specific topics. Lectures will provide information necessary for laboratory and discussion portions of the course. Students will learn how to identify common turfgrasses and then how to properly manage a home lawn in a sustainable way. The course will be presented entirely online and make extensive use of online discussion forums, wikis, blogs, and interactive Flash modules. Students will discuss important turfgrass science topics such as fertilizer run-off, pesticide use, and genetically-modified turf. This course will also equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain quality turf areas with reduced inputs, thereby reducing potential risk to the environment.

Course Catalog Description:
Organic fruit and vegetable production has been one of the fastest growing segments of the US economy for almost two decades, stimulating an overwhelming number of biological and ecological innovations to produce food using organic approaches. This course aims to increase student's knowledge of ecological concepts as applied to managing organic systems, with an emphasis on soil nutrient cycles and plant-soil-microbe interactions that serve as the cornerstone of organic systems. Students in this course will learn tools needed to manage an organic diversified vegetable operation. The course consists of two components. The lecture session is designed to help students think about concepts and principles that are useful in planning and managing production strategies on organic farms. We spend a significant amount of our time reviewing soil nutrient cycling and its critical importance for organic farms, including how to effectively use soil and organic nutrient inputs such as cover crops, manure and fertilizers, to provide vegetable crops with the nutrients they need to grow. We also learn about successful marketing strategies for organic produce. Finally, near the end of the semester we will discuss pest management, including both weeds and disease/insect pests, and compare different tillage options available to organic producers. What we learn is then applied to planning next year's season of the UMN student organic farm. Throughout, we will use case studies, guest speakers, games, and active learning discussion approaches to move these classroom sessions "beyond the lecture" and allow students to engage with the material in a meaningful way. The lab is designed to allow a space to put into action some of the concepts students learn in lecture, including soil organic matter analysis, microgreen propagation, calculation of organic fertilizer rates, and operation of driven and walk-behind tractors. prereq: Agro 1101 or 1103 or Biol 1001 or 1009 or Hort 1001

Course Catalog Description:
Each ecosystem restoration is the product of a myriad of decisions made in response to existing site conditions (biotic and abiotic), anticipated effects from the surrounding landscape, predictions about future events, logistical realities, and, of course, desired conditions. During this course, you will learn about the ecological and social factors that affect ecosystem recovery and how people intervene to reverse ecosystem degradation. The course includes examples from ecosystems around the world, with emphasis on those found in the Midwestern US. Field trips. PREREQUISITES: This course presumes previous courses in basic ecology and plant science.
Class Notes:
This class is a blended course. In-person class sessions: 2.5 hours per week, will include discussions, cases, and guest lectures. Online asynchronous lectures: 1.5 hours per week. This class also includes several field trips (some self-scheduled, one on a Saturday).
Class Description:
Ecological and physiological concepts are explored as a basis for regenerating grasslands, wetlands, forests and other landscapes. The extent to which restorations have succeeded or failed is often a reflection of the state of our understanding of ecological processes. Half of the course introduces students to the ecological and physiolocial concepts relevant to land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiological concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiolocial concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration has depended on scientific predictions vs. trial and error to develop cultural practices. The other half of the course provides students with and in-depth view of the restoration of specific kinds of ecological communities. For each ecommunity, students are provided with information on the history of restoratoin, the impetus for restorations (cultural, political), and the range of restoratoin practices and desired outcomes, and major limitations to success. Field visits are scheduled for the first half of the course.

Course Catalog Description:
This fully online course focuses on the principles and practices of growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs with an ecological approach. You'll explore basic botany, soils and compost, species and variety selection, planning and design, container gardening, pest management, season extension, and more so you can approach your gardening projects with confidence. We will begin by taking a look at the fundamentals of organic gardening, then move onto an overview of basic plant science principles. Following this introduction, course content will focus on how these principles can be applied practically in the planning and management of an organic garden, whether that be in your yard, on your patio, or at a school or community site. This course isn't so much about memorizing facts as it is about you becoming a well-informed gardener who can make educated decisions and seek out reliable answers to questions or problems that might come up. The course is presented entirely online and makes extensive use of discussions, interactive activities, worksheets, and multimedia projects that get you immersed in a host of gardening topics. Short video segments in each module highlight key topics and provide information to guide you as you work through the readings, activities, and assignments.

Geophytes are early harbingers of spring. In this course, we will examine the variety of herbaceous perennial spring-flowering crops with underground storage organs (geophytes). As spring progresses, different genera and species predominate in the flowering landscape. In contrast, greenhouse production of potted plant and cut flower geophytic crops can be simultaneous rather than sequential. This course will consist of hands-on taxonomic identification of geophyte crops, their uses in landscape design, and production essentials. The course will be hands-on, experiential learning with many visits of outdoor landscape, gardens, production greenhouses, and interiorscapes. prereq: HORT 1015

The course builds on knowledge obtained in Hort 1001 or Hort 1015, by adding in additional factors of plant growth coupled with scheduling and growing of crops which commercial growers would experience. The role of ornamental plants in the human environment will be discussed, with special emphasis on future issues. Writing is an integral component of this course; one major paper is revised and expanded multiple times plus other course writing fulfill the writing intensive requirement. Through the use of interactive learning, field trips, written assignments, and in-class discussions, students learn crop requirements and the interactions between the marketing distribution system of breeders, producers, distributors, growers, retailers, and consumers. prereq: HORT 1001/6011 or PMB 2022 or BIOL 1009. HORT 1015 preferred but not required.

Class Description:
HORT 1001: Plant Propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction.

Plant Prop encourages you to cure your "plant blindness" - look at the world around you, all the plants around you, in ways you may have never considered before. You may just become a plant geek, gushing to your friends and family about some exciting new thing you learned about plants.

Who Should Take This Class?:
This course is required for all Plant Science majors and Food Systems majors, as well as Horticulture minors. However, it is an incredibly approachable class for students of any program! Learn how to better care for your own plants, whether you live in an apartment, dorm, or house. Better still, HORT 1001 meets the Liberal Education Biological Sciences with a Lab requirement. (Graduate and masters students are not permitted to take Summer 2020 HORT 1001. They must take HORT 6011 in Fall 2020.)
Learning Objectives:
The objectives of this course are to understand the fundamentals of plant biology as they apply to plant propagation, to experience the techniques used to propagate horticultural plants, and to understand the conceptual basis for these practices. Specifically: 1) Be able to recognize, describe, and define biological phenomena, concepts, and terms using the language of biology. 2) Be able to provide examples to analyze and explain biological phenomena and concepts; recognize biological phenomena in unfamiliar situations; use scientific ways of knowing to investigate problems. 3) Be able to apply biological knowledge and ways of knowing to personal and professional decisions.
Class Format:
For summer 2020, HORT 1001 is offered completely online as a single lecture section with integrated lab-related digital activities. (Graduate and masters students are not permitted to take Summer 2020 HORT 1001. They must take HORT 6011 in Fall 2020.)

Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. Millions of acres across the United States are devoted to turfgrass. Home lawns, parks, athletic fields, golf course, and other turf areas play an important role in environmental quality. Homeowners have little knowledge about fertilizer and pesticide use, irrigation, and mowing. Although the impact of an individual homeowner may be small, the effect of millions of acres of home lawns can be significant. This course will focus on sustainable turfgrass management for the home lawn. The content will be presented in a fashion that focuses on environmentally responsible turfgrass management. The course will begin by presenting an overview of basic horticultural principles and then focus on turfgrass-specific topics. Lectures will provide information necessary for laboratory and discussion portions of the course. Students will learn how to identify common turfgrasses and then how to properly manage a home lawn in a sustainable way. The course will be presented entirely online and make extensive use of online discussion forums, wikis, blogs, and interactive Flash modules. Students will discuss important turfgrass science topics such as fertilizer run-off, pesticide use, and genetically-modified turf. This course will also equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain quality turf areas with reduced inputs, thereby reducing potential risk to the environment.

Course Catalog Description:
Organic fruit and vegetable production has been one of the fastest growing segments of the US economy for almost two decades, stimulating an overwhelming number of biological and ecological innovations to produce food using organic approaches. This course aims to increase student's knowledge of ecological concepts as applied to managing organic systems, with an emphasis on soil nutrient cycles and plant-soil-microbe interactions that serve as the cornerstone of organic systems. Students in this course will learn tools needed to manage an organic diversified vegetable operation. The course consists of two components. The lecture session is designed to help students think about concepts and principles that are useful in planning and managing production strategies on organic farms. We spend a significant amount of our time reviewing soil nutrient cycling and its critical importance for organic farms, including how to effectively use soil and organic nutrient inputs such as cover crops, manure and fertilizers, to provide vegetable crops with the nutrients they need to grow. We also learn about successful marketing strategies for organic produce. Finally, near the end of the semester we will discuss pest management, including both weeds and disease/insect pests, and compare different tillage options available to organic producers. What we learn is then applied to planning next year's season of the UMN student organic farm. Throughout, we will use case studies, guest speakers, games, and active learning discussion approaches to move these classroom sessions "beyond the lecture" and allow students to engage with the material in a meaningful way. The lab is designed to allow a space to put into action some of the concepts students learn in lecture, including soil organic matter analysis, microgreen propagation, calculation of organic fertilizer rates, and operation of driven and walk-behind tractors.

Fall 2021 Course Logistics: This class will be offered as a blended course. In-person class sessions: 2.5 hours per week, will include discussions, cases, and guest lectures. Online asynchronous lectures: 1.5 hours per week. This class also includes several field trips (some self-scheduled, one on a Saturday).
Class Description:
Ecological and physiological concepts are explored as a basis for regenerating grasslands, wetlands, forests and other landscapes. The extent to which restorations have succeeded or failed is often a reflection of the state of our understanding of ecological processes. Half of the course introduces students to the ecological and physiolocial concepts relevant to land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiological concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiolocial concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration has depended on scientific predictions vs. trial and error to develop cultural practices. The other half of the course provides students with and in-depth view of the restoration of specific kinds of ecological communities. For each ecommunity, students are provided with information on the history of restoratoin, the impetus for restorations (cultural, political), and the range of restoratoin practices and desired outcomes, and major limitations to success. Field visits are scheduled for the first half of the course.

Students are admitted by priority from the pre-existing waitlist. NOTE: Just because you see an open seat does not mean that seat is open to you. It goes to the next student on the preserved waitlist.
Class Description:
Upon completion of this course, each student will understand and have knowledge of the following concepts: The process of fermentation and its role in wine production; fundamental principles of biology and culture of the grapevine; types of wine and their production differences; the major grape-growing regions of the world, the most important grape cultivars in each region, and the characteristics of the wines produced in these regions; systematic evaluation of wine sensory characteristics; understanding commercial wine labels; the basic aspects of plant anatomy, using the grapevine as a model; the major genetic factors in grapes that contribute to wine quality; how cultural and environmental factors affect wine quality and yield; selection, planting, and cultivation of grapevines in a home garden; current issues involving wine and human health; and current social and legal issues involving wine. In addition to lectures, discussion groups, and sensory evaluation (tasting) sessions, the course will include one scheduled Saturday field trip to the Horticultural Research Center (part of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chanhassen) to visit the vineyards and our research winery.

Geophytes are early harbingers of spring. In this course we will examine the variety of herbaceous perennial spring-flowering crops with underground storage organs (geophytes). As spring progresses, different genera and species predominate in the flowering landscape. In contrast, greenhouse production of potted plant and cut flower geophytic crops can be simultaneous rather than sequential. This course will consist of hands-on taxonomic identification of geophyte crops, their uses in landscape design, and production essentials. The laboratory will be hands-on, experiential learning with many visits of outdoor landscape, gardens, production greenhouses, and interiorscapes.

This course will focus on production of fruits and vegetables for local and organic markets in the Upper Midwest. Most fruit and vegetable growers in Minnesota operate diversified production systems for local and organic markets (fresh market - not processing), and so we explore production within this specific framework. Examples from large-scale systems will also be highlighted in order to compare and contrast different production features and challenges. We will explore the specialty crop industry, trends, consumer behavior, and marketing, including organic regulations and certification programs. We will explore fruit and vegetable production within the framework of sustainable agriculture, which encompasses agricultural productivity, economic viability, environmental conservation, and social equity, and how this relates to the regulatory framework supporting organic certification. The format of this class is 70% discussion, 30% lecture. Prerequisites: SOIL 2125 and [HORT 1001 or AGRO 1101 or BIOL 1009 or BIOL 1001 or another applicable biological science equivalent]

Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. Millions of acres across the United States are devoted to turfgrass. Home lawns, parks, athletic fields, golf course, and other turf areas play an important role in environmental quality. Homeowners have little knowledge about fertilizer and pesticide use, irrigation, and mowing. Although the impact of an individual homeowner may be small, the effect of millions of acres of home lawns can be significant. This course will focus on sustainable turfgrass management for the home lawn. The content will be presented in a fashion that focuses on environmentally responsible turfgrass management. The course will begin by presenting an overview of basic horticultural principles and then focus on turfgrass-specific topics. Lectures will provide information necessary for laboratory and discussion portions of the course. Students will learn how to identify common turfgrasses and then how to properly manage a home lawn in a sustainable way. The course will be presented entirely online and make extensive use of online discussion forums, wikis, blogs, and interactive Flash modules. Students will discuss important turfgrass science topics such as fertilizer run-off, pesticide use, and genetically-modified turf. This course will also equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain quality turf areas with reduced inputs, thereby reducing potential risk to the environment.

Course Catalog Description:
Organic fruit and vegetable production has been one of the fastest growing segments of the US economy for almost two decades, stimulating an overwhelming number of biological and ecological innovations to produce food using organic approaches. This course aims to increase student's knowledge of ecological concepts as applied to managing organic systems, with an emphasis on soil nutrient cycles and plant-soil-microbe interactions that serve as the cornerstone of organic systems. Students in this course will learn tools needed to manage an organic diversified vegetable operation. The course consists of two components. The lecture session is designed to help students think about concepts and principles that are useful in planning and managing production strategies on organic farms. We spend a significant amount of our time reviewing soil nutrient cycling and its critical importance for organic farms, including how to effectively use soil and organic nutrient inputs such as cover crops, manure and fertilizers, to provide vegetable crops with the nutrients they need to grow. We also learn about successful marketing strategies for organic produce. Finally, near the end of the semester we will discuss pest management, including both weeds and disease/insect pests, and compare different tillage options available to organic producers. What we learn is then applied to planning next year's season of the UMN student organic farm. Throughout, we will use case studies, guest speakers, games, and active learning discussion approaches to move these classroom sessions "beyond the lecture" and allow students to engage with the material in a meaningful way. The lab is designed to allow a space to put into action some of the concepts students learn in lecture, including soil organic matter analysis, microgreen propagation, calculation of organic fertilizer rates, and operation of driven and walk-behind tractors.

Each ecosystem restoration is the product of a myriad of decisions made in response to existing site conditions (biotic and abiotic), anticipated effects from the surrounding landscape, predictions about future events, logistical realities, and, of course, desired conditions. During this course, you will learn about the ecological and social factors that affect ecosystem recovery and how people intervene to reverse ecosystem degradation. The course includes examples from ecosystems around the world, with emphasis on those found in the Midwestern US. Field trips. PREREQUISITES: This course presumes previous courses in basic ecology and plant science.
Class Notes:
Fall 2021 Course Logistics: This class will be offered as a blended course. In-person class sessions: 2.5 hours per week, will include discussions, cases, and guest lectures. Online asynchronous lectures: 1.5 hours per week. This class also includes several field trips (some self-scheduled, one on a Saturday).
Class Description:
Ecological and physiological concepts are explored as a basis for regenerating grasslands, wetlands, forests and other landscapes. The extent to which restorations have succeeded or failed is often a reflection of the state of our understanding of ecological processes. Half of the course introduces students to the ecological and physiolocial concepts relevant to land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiological concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiolocial concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration has depended on scientific predictions vs. trial and error to develop cultural practices. The other half of the course provides students with and in-depth view of the restoration of specific kinds of ecological communities. For each ecommunity, students are provided with information on the history of restoratoin, the impetus for restorations (cultural, political), and the range of restoratoin practices and desired outcomes, and major limitations to success. Field visits are scheduled for the first half of the course.

Course Catalog Description:
This course will focus on production of fruits and vegetables for local and organic markets in the Upper Midwest. Most fruit and vegetable growers in Minnesota operate diversified production systems for local and organic markets (fresh market--not processing), and so we explore production within this specific framework, although examples from large-scale systems will be highlighted in order to compare and contrast different production features and challenges. During the first two weeks, we will explore the specialty crop industry, trends, consumer behavior, and marketing, including organic regulations and certification programs. We will make distinctions between annual and perennial crop production and climatic considerations-- with an emphasis on the upper Midwest and cold climates. We will explore fruit and vegetable production within the framework of sustainable agriculture, which encompasses agricultural productivity, economic viability, environmental conservation, and social equity, and how this relates to the regulatory framework supporting organic certification. Farms are very diverse, and we will compare and contrast aspects of sustainability within these systems and recognize current challenges in improving sustainability. The systems involved in developing, producing, and marketing fruit and vegetable crops are neither static nor independent - rather, quite dynamic in their relationships. This should be considered as we progress through the various study areas so that you can integrate and explore the connections between them. For example: site selection, land preparation, environmental interaction, specialized equipment, plant reproductive biology and plant genetics, seed selection and seed saving, cultural management practices during crop growth and development, water management, control of insects, diseases and weeds, post-harvest handling and food safety, marketing and commodity use will all be explored.

Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. Millions of acres across the United States are devoted to turfgrass. Home lawns, parks, athletic fields, golf course, and other turf areas play an important role in environmental quality. Homeowners have little knowledge about fertilizer and pesticide use, irrigation, and mowing. Although the impact of an individual homeowner may be small, the effect of millions of acres of home lawns can be significant. This course will focus on sustainable turfgrass management for the home lawn. The content will be presented in a fashion that focuses on environmentally responsible turfgrass management. The course will begin by presenting an overview of basic horticultural principles and then focus on turfgrass-specific topics. Lectures will provide information necessary for laboratory and discussion portions of the course. Students will learn how to identify common turfgrasses and then how to properly manage a home lawn in a sustainable way. The course will be presented entirely online and make extensive use of online discussion forums, wikis, blogs, and interactive Flash modules. Students will discuss important turfgrass science topics such as fertilizer run-off, pesticide use, and genetically-modified turf. This course will also equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain quality turf areas with reduced inputs, thereby reducing potential risk to the environment.

Course Catalog Description:
Organic fruit and vegetable production has been one of the fastest growing segments of the US economy for almost two decades, stimulating an overwhelming number of biological and ecological innovations to produce food using organic approaches. This course aims to increase student's knowledge of ecological concepts as applied to managing organic systems, with an emphasis on soil nutrient cycles and plant-soil-microbe interactions that serve as the cornerstone of organic systems. Students in this course will learn tools needed to manage an organic diversified vegetable operation. The course consists of two components: a classroom session two times each week for 50 minutes, and a laboratory session that meets before class on Tuesdays for two hours. The classroom session is designed to help students think about concepts and principles that are useful in planning and managing production strategies on organic farms. We spend a significant amount of our time reviewing soil nutrient cycling and its critical importance for organic farms, including how to effectively use soil and organic nutrient inputs such as cover crops, manure and fertilizers, to provide vegetable crops with the nutrients they need to grow. We also learn about successful marketing strategies for organic produce. Finally, near the end of the semester we will discuss pest management, including both weeds and disease/insect pests, and compare different tillage options available to organic producers. What we learn is then applied to planning next year's season of the UMN student organic farm. Throughout, we will use case studies, guest speakers, games, and active learning discussion approaches to move these classroom sessions "beyond the lecture" and allow students to engage with the material in a meaningful way. The lab is designed to allow a space to put into action some of the concepts students learn in lecture, including soil organic matter analysis, microgreen propagation, calculation of organic fertiliz

Course Catalog Description:
Organic fruit and vegetable production has been one of the fastest growing segments of the US economy for almost two decades, stimulating an overwhelming number of biological and ecological innovations to produce food using organic approaches. This course aims to increase student's knowledge of ecological concepts as applied to managing organic systems, with an emphasis on soil nutrient cycles and plant-soil-microbe interactions that serve as the cornerstone of organic systems. Students in this course will learn tools needed to manage an organic diversified vegetable operation. The course consists of two components: a classroom session two times each week for 50 minutes, and a laboratory session that meets before class on Tuesdays for two hours. The classroom session is designed to help students think about concepts and principles that are useful in planning and managing production strategies on organic farms. We spend a significant amount of our time reviewing soil nutrient cycling and its critical importance for organic farms, including how to effectively use soil and organic nutrient inputs such as cover crops, manure and fertilizers, to provide vegetable crops with the nutrients they need to grow. We also learn about successful marketing strategies for organic produce. Finally, near the end of the semester we will discuss pest management, including both weeds and disease/insect pests, and compare different tillage options available to organic producers. What we learn is then applied to planning next year's season of the UMN student organic farm. Throughout, we will use case studies, guest speakers, games, and active learning discussion approaches to move these classroom sessions "beyond the lecture" and allow students to engage with the material in a meaningful way. The lab is designed to allow a space to put into action some of the concepts students learn in lecture, including soil organic matter analysis, microgreen propagation, calculation of organic fertiliz

Each ecosystem restoration is the product of a myriad of decisions made in response to existing site conditions (biotic and abiotic), anticipated effects from the surrounding landscape, predictions about future events, logistical realities, and, of course, desired conditions. During this course, you will learn about the ecological and social factors that affect ecosystem recovery and how people intervene to reverse ecosystem degradation. The course includes examples from ecosystems around the world, with emphasis on those found in the Midwestern US. Field trips. PREREQUISITES: This course presumes previous courses in basic ecology and plant science.
Class Notes:
Fall 2021 Course Logistics: This class will be offered as a blended course. In-person class sessions: 2.5 hours per week, will include discussions, cases, and guest lectures. Online asynchronous lectures: 1.5 hours per week. This class also includes several field trips (some self-scheduled, one on a Saturday).
Class Description:
Ecological and physiological concepts are explored as a basis for regenerating grasslands, wetlands, forests and other landscapes. The extent to which restorations have succeeded or failed is often a reflection of the state of our understanding of ecological processes. Half of the course introduces students to the ecological and physiolocial concepts relevant to land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiological concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiolocial concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration has depended on scientific predictions vs. trial and error to develop cultural practices. The other half of the course provides students with and in-depth view of the restoration of specific kinds of ecological communities. For each ecommunity, students are provided with information on the history of restoratoin, the impetus for restorations (cultural, political), and the range of restoratoin practices and desired outcomes, and major limitations to success. Field visits are scheduled for the first half of the course.

Class Description:
HORT 1001: Plant Propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction.

Plant Prop encourages you to cure your "plant blindness" - look at the world around you, all the plants around you, in ways you may have never considered before. You may just become a plant geek, gushing to your friends and family about some exciting new thing you learned about plants.

Who Should Take This Class?:
This course is required for all Plant Science majors and Food Systems majors, as well as Horticulture minors. However, it is an incredibly approachable class for students of any program! Learn how to better care for your own plants, whether you live in an apartment, dorm, or house. Better still, HORT 1001 meets the Liberal Education Biological Sciences with a Lab requirement. (Graduate and masters students are not permitted to take Summer 2020 HORT 1001. They must take HORT 6011 in Fall 2020.)
Learning Objectives:
The objectives of this course are to understand the fundamentals of plant biology as they apply to plant propagation, to experience the techniques used to propagate horticultural plants, and to understand the conceptual basis for these practices. Specifically: 1) Be able to recognize, describe, and define biological phenomena, concepts, and terms using the language of biology. 2) Be able to provide examples to analyze and explain biological phenomena and concepts; recognize biological phenomena in unfamiliar situations; use scientific ways of knowing to investigate problems. 3) Be able to apply biological knowledge and ways of knowing to personal and professional decisions.
Class Format:
For summer 2020, HORT 1001 is offered completely online as a single lecture section with integrated lab-related digital activities. (Graduate and masters students are not permitted to take Summer 2020 HORT 1001. They must take HORT 6011 in Fall 2020.)

Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

Class Description:
HORT 1001: Plant Propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction.

Plant Prop encourages you to cure your "plant blindness" - look at the world around you, all the plants around you, in ways you may have never considered before. You may just become a plant geek, gushing to your friends and family about some exciting new thing you learned about plants.

Who Should Take This Class?:
This course is required for all Plant Science majors and Food Systems majors, as well as Horticulture minors. However, it is an incredibly approachable class for students of any program! Learn how to better care for your own plants, whether you live in an apartment, dorm, or house. Better still, HORT 1001 meets the Liberal Education Biological Sciences with a Lab requirement. (Graduate and masters students are not permitted to take Summer 2020 HORT 1001. They must take HORT 6011 in Fall 2020.)
Learning Objectives:
The objectives of this course are to understand the fundamentals of plant biology as they apply to plant propagation, to experience the techniques used to propagate horticultural plants, and to understand the conceptual basis for these practices. Specifically: 1) Be able to recognize, describe, and define biological phenomena, concepts, and terms using the language of biology. 2) Be able to provide examples to analyze and explain biological phenomena and concepts; recognize biological phenomena in unfamiliar situations; use scientific ways of knowing to investigate problems. 3) Be able to apply biological knowledge and ways of knowing to personal and professional decisions.
Class Format:
For summer 2020, HORT 1001 is offered completely online as a single lecture section with integrated lab-related digital activities. (Graduate and masters students are not permitted to take Summer 2020 HORT 1001. They must take HORT 6011 in Fall 2020.)

Tracing our relationship with edible landscapes traces to our hunting-gathering origins. Technological/social changes that have distanced us from our food. Integrating food plants into pleasing, sustainable, and edible landscapes in yards, neighborhoods, and cities.
Class Description:
An edible landscape is simply a space, established and managed by humans, that supports edible plants. Contemporary edible landscapes in North America are found on scales ranging from the regional (monoculture commodity production) to local (orchards, market gardens), to neighborhood (community gardens) to residential (backyard and indoor gardens). Our close relationship with edible landscapes traces to the point in our hunting-gathering origins when we began imagining the transition to settled agriculture. Ancient garden designs that followed supported food production but also celebrated culturally important mythologies. Now, as a response to technological and social change we in North America have mostly delegated management of edible landscape spaces to a small minority of the population and distanced ourselves from our food sources. This course is a small step toward understanding, reclaiming and expanding edible landscape spaces. With imagination and environmental respect we can integrate food plants into pleasing, sustainable and edible landscapes in our yards, neighborhoods and even the region of the country in which we live. Edible landscapes are complex systems with many functions, including food of course, but also aesthetics, recreation and environmental remediation. Edible landscapes have morphed throughout history, and even today differ from culture to culture. These differences over time and across cultures can be related to changes in technologies, but also to contemporary human needs and expectations, political influences, war, environmental and economic constraints. In this course, students will explore edible landscapes through history, and the confluence of contemporary North American cultural norms, economic uncertainty and emerging technologies that have resulted in an upsurge in local foods, organic production, a rekindled interest in home cooking, residential gardens and community supported agriculture. Students will be challenged to creatively integrate these different landscape demands into recommendations of plants, production methods and designs appropriate for specific sites. Students will apply science as a way of knowing, which provides them with a powerful tool for lifelong problem-solving and decision-making about food sources, and also about the impact of personal choices regarding residential landscapes on neighborhoods, watersheds, and, collectively, on regional phenomena such as pollution remediation and addressing global warming.

Geophytes are early harbingers of spring. In this course we will examine the variety of herbaceous perennial spring-flowering crops with underground storage organs (geophytes). As spring progresses, different genera and species predominate in the flowering landscape. In contrast, greenhouse production of potted plant and cut flower geophytic crops can be simultaneous rather than sequential. This course will consist of hands-on taxonomic identification of geophyte crops, their uses in landscape design, and production essentials. The laboratory will be hands-on, experiential learning with many visits of outdoor landscape, gardens, production greenhouses, and interiorscapes.

Need an excuse to spend a few hours outside at the height of the spring flowering season? Want to spend more time amidst the expansive and beautiful University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum plant collections? Do you want to be able to identify more woody landscape plants, in flower? Here's your chance to expand your plant identification skills and learn the names and flowering characteristics for approximately 150 woody landscape plants. Flowering Trees and Shrubs is a practitioners course, designed to give you a hands-on opportunity to learn to identify woody landscape trees, shrubs, ground covers, and vines, including the common and scientific names for each. We will study the plants as family assemblages, noting features common to each family which will assist you in identifying unknown plants in Minnesota and other geographical locations in the future. In addition to identification; common landscape uses, cultural specificities,problems, and notable cultivars will be highlighted.
Class Notes:
NOTE FOR SPRING 2021: Because HORT 4112 is offered online for spring 2021, the course description you see listed below in the "Description" box is inaccurate (as it pertains to the course's in-person offering). Please see below for an accurate description for the spring 2021 online offering: In this course we will expand our plant identification skills and learn the names and morphological characteristics for approximately 80 woody landscape plants. Flowering Trees and Shrubs is a practitioner's course, designed to give you hands-on experience with Spring flowering woody trees, shrubs, ground covers, and vines. We will experience these plants in the landscape and reflect on our experience. In addition to plant identification, the course will focus on common landscape uses, cultural specificities, the tools used for plant ID, and phenology. The class is fully online, with both synchronous and asynchronous content. Students will be expected to make independent excursions into the landscape. Be advised - There will be no meetings at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum during the spring 2021 online offering (as there will be no in-person meetings).

Class Description:
HORT 1001: Plant Propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction.

Plant Prop encourages you to cure your "plant blindness" - look at the world around you, all the plants around you, in ways you may have never considered before. You may just become a plant geek, gushing to your friends and family about some exciting new thing you learned about plants.

Who Should Take This Class?:
This course is required for all Plant Science majors and Food Systems majors, as well as Horticulture minors. However, it is an incredibly approachable class for students of any program! Learn how to better care for your own plants, whether you live in an apartment, dorm, or house. Better still, HORT 1001 meets the Liberal Education Biological Sciences with a Lab requirement. (Graduate and masters students are not permitted to take Summer 2020 HORT 1001. They must take HORT 6011 in Fall 2020.)
Learning Objectives:
The objectives of this course are to understand the fundamentals of plant biology as they apply to plant propagation, to experience the techniques used to propagate horticultural plants, and to understand the conceptual basis for these practices. Specifically: 1) Be able to recognize, describe, and define biological phenomena, concepts, and terms using the language of biology. 2) Be able to provide examples to analyze and explain biological phenomena and concepts; recognize biological phenomena in unfamiliar situations; use scientific ways of knowing to investigate problems. 3) Be able to apply biological knowledge and ways of knowing to personal and professional decisions.
Class Format:
For summer 2020, HORT 1001 is offered completely online as a single lecture section with integrated lab-related digital activities. (Graduate and masters students are not permitted to take Summer 2020 HORT 1001. They must take HORT 6011 in Fall 2020.)

Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. Millions of acres across the United States are devoted to turfgrass. Home lawns, parks, athletic fields, golf course, and other turf areas play an important role in environmental quality. Homeowners have little knowledge about fertilizer and pesticide use, irrigation, and mowing. Although the impact of an individual homeowner may be small, the effect of millions of acres of home lawns can be significant. This course will focus on sustainable turfgrass management for the home lawn. The content will be presented in a fashion that focuses on environmentally responsible turfgrass management. The course will begin by presenting an overview of basic horticultural principles and then focus on turfgrass-specific topics. Lectures will provide information necessary for laboratory and discussion portions of the course. Students will learn how to identify common turfgrasses and then how to properly manage a home lawn in a sustainable way. The course will be presented entirely online and make extensive use of online discussion forums, wikis, blogs, and interactive Flash modules. Students will discuss important turfgrass science topics such as fertilizer run-off, pesticide use, and genetically-modified turf. This course will also equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain quality turf areas with reduced inputs, thereby reducing potential risk to the environment.

Course Catalog Description:
Organic fruit and vegetable production has been one of the fastest growing segments of the US economy for almost two decades, stimulating an overwhelming number of biological and ecological innovations to produce food using organic approaches. This course aims to increase student's knowledge of ecological concepts as applied to managing organic systems, with an emphasis on soil nutrient cycles and plant-soil-microbe interactions that serve as the cornerstone of organic systems. Students in this course will learn tools needed to manage an organic diversified vegetable operation. The course consists of two components: a classroom session two times each week for 50 minutes, and a laboratory session that meets before class on Tuesdays for two hours. The classroom session is designed to help students think about concepts and principles that are useful in planning and managing production strategies on organic farms. We spend a significant amount of our time reviewing soil nutrient cycling and its critical importance for organic farms, including how to effectively use soil and organic nutrient inputs such as cover crops, manure and fertilizers, to provide vegetable crops with the nutrients they need to grow. We also learn about successful marketing strategies for organic produce. Finally, near the end of the semester we will discuss pest management, including both weeds and disease/insect pests, and compare different tillage options available to organic producers. What we learn is then applied to planning next year's season of the UMN student organic farm. Throughout, we will use case studies, guest speakers, games, and active learning discussion approaches to move these classroom sessions "beyond the lecture" and allow students to engage with the material in a meaningful way. The lab is designed to allow a space to put into action some of the concepts students learn in lecture, including soil organic matter analysis, microgreen propagation, calculation of organic fertiliz

Class Description:
Ecological and physiological concepts are explored as a basis for regenerating grasslands, wetlands, forests and other landscapes. The extent to which restorations have succeeded or failed is often a reflection of the state of our understanding of ecological processes. Half of the course introduces students to the ecological and physiolocial concepts relevant to land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiological concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiolocial concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration has depended on scientific predictions vs. trial and error to develop cultural practices. The other half of the course provides students with and in-depth view of the restoration of specific kinds of ecological communities. For each ecommunity, students are provided with information on the history of restoratoin, the impetus for restorations (cultural, political), and the range of restoratoin practices and desired outcomes, and major limitations to success. Field visits are scheduled for the first half of the course.

Class Description:
HORT 1001: Plant Propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction.

Plant Prop encourages you to cure your "plant blindness" - look at the world around you, all the plants around you, in ways you may have never considered before. You may just become a plant geek, gushing to your friends and family about some exciting new thing you learned about plants.

Who Should Take This Class?:
This course is required for all Plant Science majors and Food Systems majors, as well as Horticulture minors. However, it is an incredibly approachable class for students of any program! Learn how to better care for your own plants, whether you live in an apartment, dorm, or house. Better still, HORT 1001 meets the Liberal Education Biological Sciences with a Lab requirement. (Graduate and masters students are not permitted to take Summer 2020 HORT 1001. They must take HORT 6011 in Fall 2020.)
Learning Objectives:
The objectives of this course are to understand the fundamentals of plant biology as they apply to plant propagation, to experience the techniques used to propagate horticultural plants, and to understand the conceptual basis for these practices. Specifically: 1) Be able to recognize, describe, and define biological phenomena, concepts, and terms using the language of biology. 2) Be able to provide examples to analyze and explain biological phenomena and concepts; recognize biological phenomena in unfamiliar situations; use scientific ways of knowing to investigate problems. 3) Be able to apply biological knowledge and ways of knowing to personal and professional decisions.
Class Format:
For summer 2020, HORT 1001 is offered completely online as a single lecture section with integrated lab-related digital activities. (Graduate and masters students are not permitted to take Summer 2020 HORT 1001. They must take HORT 6011 in Fall 2020.)

Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

For more information about this class, check out the course syllabus. http://learnhort.umn.edu/Edible%20Landscape/S2019/Syllabus%20Hort%201014%20S2019.html
Class Description:
An edible landscape is simply a space, established and managed by humans, that supports edible plants. Contemporary edible landscapes in North America are found on scales ranging from the regional (monoculture commodity production) to local (orchards, market gardens), to neighborhood (community gardens) to residential (backyard and indoor gardens). Our close relationship with edible landscapes traces to the point in our hunting-gathering origins when we began imagining the transition to settled agriculture. Ancient garden designs that followed supported food production but also celebrated culturally important mythologies. Now, as a response to technological and social change we in North America have mostly delegated management of edible landscape spaces to a small minority of the population and distanced ourselves from our food sources. This course is a small step toward understanding, reclaiming and expanding edible landscape spaces. With imagination and environmental respect we can integrate food plants into pleasing, sustainable and edible landscapes in our yards, neighborhoods and even the region of the country in which we live. Edible landscapes are complex systems with many functions, including food of course, but also aesthetics, recreation and environmental remediation. Edible landscapes have morphed throughout history, and even today differ from culture to culture. These differences over time and across cultures can be related to changes in technologies, but also to contemporary human needs and expectations, political influences, war, environmental and economic constraints. In this course, students will explore edible landscapes through history, and the confluence of contemporary North American cultural norms, economic uncertainty and emerging technologies that have resulted in an upsurge in local foods, organic production, a rekindled interest in home cooking, residential gardens and community supported agriculture. Students will be challenged to creatively integrate these different landscape demands into recommendations of plants, production methods and designs appropriate for specific sites. Students will apply science as a way of knowing, which provides them with a powerful tool for lifelong problem-solving and decision-making about food sources, and also about the impact of personal choices regarding residential landscapes on neighborhoods, watersheds, and, collectively, on regional phenomena such as pollution remediation and addressing global warming.

Class Description:
Floral design is a course to educate students in the creation of professional floral designs to enhance the human experience in a variety of occasions. Floral design is a prime example of a horticulture discipline which encompasses a wide range of subjects across the educational spectrum, such as physics, mechanical engineering, art, history, horticulture, landscape architecture, architecture, liberal arts, music, business, human ecology, food science, biology, botany, ecology, medicine, and mortuary science. Flowers have historically been used to express emotions; we will examine the historic uses of flowers in various civilizations for celebrating human life and death, as well as how these uses influence our current floral design spectrum. Additional features of flowers, such as fragrance, will demonstrate the sensory value of their use. Students from a diverse array of majors, professional interests, and rank across the university (undergraduate, continuing education, MAST, Master of Agriculture, graduate, Regent's Scholars) enroll in Floral Design each year. Environmental Horticulture undergraduate students may enroll in this class to fulfill a Hort elective. The class is designed to allow your creative and artistic talents blossom as you learn to about the artistic use of flowers. It may be a welcome stress-reliever in your busy schedules. You will take floral arrangements home almost every week. Additionally, depending on your professional background, this course will aid in enhancing your career in any field.

Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. Millions of acres across the United States are devoted to turfgrass. Home lawns, parks, athletic fields, golf course, and other turf areas play an important role in environmental quality. Homeowners have little knowledge about fertilizer and pesticide use, irrigation, and mowing. Although the impact of an individual homeowner may be small, the effect of millions of acres of home lawns can be significant. This course will focus on sustainable turfgrass management for the home lawn. The content will be presented in a fashion that focuses on environmentally responsible turfgrass management. The course will begin by presenting an overview of basic horticultural principles and then focus on turfgrass-specific topics. Lectures will provide information necessary for laboratory and discussion portions of the course. Students will learn how to identify common turfgrasses and then how to properly manage a home lawn in a sustainable way. The course will be presented entirely online and make extensive use of online discussion forums, wikis, blogs, and interactive Flash modules. Students will discuss important turfgrass science topics such as fertilizer run-off, pesticide use, and genetically-modified turf. This course will also equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain quality turf areas with reduced inputs, thereby reducing potential risk to the environment.

Course Catalog Description:
Organic fruit and vegetable production has been one of the fastest growing segments of the US economy for almost two decades, stimulating an overwhelming number of biological and ecological innovations to produce food using organic approaches. This course aims to increase student's knowledge of ecological concepts as applied to managing organic systems, with an emphasis on soil nutrient cycles and plant-soil-microbe interactions that serve as the cornerstone of organic systems. Students in this course will learn tools needed to manage an organic diversified vegetable operation. The course consists of two components: a classroom session two times each week for 50 minutes, and a laboratory session that meets before class on Tuesdays for two hours. The classroom session is designed to help students think about concepts and principles that are useful in planning and managing production strategies on organic farms. We spend a significant amount of our time reviewing soil nutrient cycling and its critical importance for organic farms, including how to effectively use soil and organic nutrient inputs such as cover crops, manure and fertilizers, to provide vegetable crops with the nutrients they need to grow. We also learn about successful marketing strategies for organic produce. Finally, near the end of the semester we will discuss pest management, including both weeds and disease/insect pests, and compare different tillage options available to organic producers. What we learn is then applied to planning next year's season of the UMN student organic farm. Throughout, we will use case studies, guest speakers, games, and active learning discussion approaches to move these classroom sessions "beyond the lecture" and allow students to engage with the material in a meaningful way. The lab is designed to allow a space to put into action some of the concepts students learn in lecture, including soil organic matter analysis, microgreen propagation, calculation of organic fertiliz

Course Catalog Description:
Medicine and food share the same origin. There is a significantly increasing use of herbs in cooking as people keep seeking diverse food sources for health benefits. Accordingly, the number of herbal farms has been kept raising in the past decades, in which highly demanded herbs are grown as specialty crops. More and more herbs are distributed through grocery stores; many of the herbs, however, are still collected from the wild, which lead to medical cases involving in herb adulteration, contamination, or just simple misidentification. The goal of this course is to provide information of classifying, identifying and applying Herbs and herbal products for human health. This course focuses on the classification and identification of approximately 120 common medicinal plants, which covers 20 key medicinal plant families. With over 50 dry herbal samples being distributed to the class, participants of the class have the opportunity to learn essential skills of identifying and practicing fresh herbs and the processed herbal products. The information of herbal names (English, Chinese, scientific, and pharmaceutical names), morphology, properties (flavors), therapeutic actions, dosages, chemical components and cautions is provided for each herb. In addition, the knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and herb uses, systems and methods for Chinese herbal classification, identification will also be introduced. Together, this course is set to provide useful information to students who study plant science, agriculture, pharmacy, and food systems.

Class Description:
Ecological and physiological concepts are explored as a basis for regenerating grasslands, wetlands, forests and other landscapes. The extent to which restorations have succeeded or failed is often a reflection of the state of our understanding of ecological processes. Half of the course introduces students to the ecological and physiolocial concepts relevant to land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiological concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiolocial concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration has depended on scientific predictions vs. trial and error to develop cultural practices. The other half of the course provides students with and in-depth view of the restoration of specific kinds of ecological communities. For each ecommunity, students are provided with information on the history of restoratoin, the impetus for restorations (cultural, political), and the range of restoratoin practices and desired outcomes, and major limitations to success. Field visits are scheduled for the first half of the course.

Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course. A Directed Study should culminate in a report (typically written, but could be delivered using alternate methods such as web page, etc.) that communicates results of the Directed Study to the advisor. Credit will not be granted for Directed Study when a project is not completed. Students should complete the following steps: 1. Identify a faculty member that is willing to serve as an advisor for the directed study. 2. Select a project and with the faculty advisor to determine how many credits the experience should be taken for (no more then 3) based on University policy. 3. In consultation with the faculty advisor, prepare a written description of the proposed directed study including anticipated duration, and method of communicating the results. 4. Submit the description, signed by both the student and the faculty advisor, to the student support staff person assigned to the departmental curriculum committee (currently Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu). A permission number will then be provided to the student. 5. Complete the Directed Study during the semester of registration unless arrangements have been made in writing that the project will extend beyond one semester. 6. Submit a final report on the Directed Study to the faculty advisor.

Class Description:
Floral design is a course to educate students in the creation of professional floral designs to enhance the human experience in a variety of occasions. Floral design is a prime example of a horticulture discipline which encompasses a wide range of subjects across the educational spectrum, such as physics, mechanical engineering, art, history, horticulture, landscape architecture, architecture, liberal arts, music, business, human ecology, food science, biology, botany, ecology, medicine, and mortuary science. Flowers have historically been used to express emotions; we will examine the historic uses of flowers in various civilizations for celebrating human life and death, as well as how these uses influence our current floral design spectrum. Additional features of flowers, such as fragrance, will demonstrate the sensory value of their use. Students from a diverse array of majors, professional interests, and rank across the university (undergraduate, continuing education, MAST, Master of Agriculture, graduate, Regent's Scholars) enroll in Floral Design each year. Environmental Horticulture undergraduate students may enroll in this class to fulfill a Hort elective. The class is designed to allow your creative and artistic talents blossom as you learn to about the artistic use of flowers. It may be a welcome stress-reliever in your busy schedules. You will take floral arrangements home almost every week. Additionally, depending on your professional background, this course will aid in enhancing your career in any field.

Tracing our relationship with edible landscapes traces to our hunting-gathering origins. Technological/social changes that have distanced us from our food. Integrating food plants into pleasing, sustainable, and edible landscapes in yards, neighborhoods, and cities.
Class Notes:
For more information about this class, check out the course website. https://sites.google.com/a/umn.edu/hort-classes/1xxx-classes/hort-1014-the-edible-landscape
Class Description:
An edible landscape is simply a space, established and managed by humans, that supports edible plants. Contemporary edible landscapes in North America are found on scales ranging from the regional (monoculture commodity production) to local (orchards, market gardens), to neighborhood (community gardens) to residential (backyard and indoor gardens). Our close relationship with edible landscapes traces to the point in our hunting-gathering origins when we began imagining the transition to settled agriculture. Ancient garden designs that followed supported food production but also celebrated culturally important mythologies. Now, as a response to technological and social change we in North America have mostly delegated management of edible landscape spaces to a small minority of the population and distanced ourselves from our food sources. This course is a small step toward understanding, reclaiming and expanding edible landscape spaces. With imagination and environmental respect we can integrate food plants into pleasing, sustainable and edible landscapes in our yards, neighborhoods and even the region of the country in which we live. Edible landscapes are complex systems with many functions, including food of course, but also aesthetics, recreation and environmental remediation. Edible landscapes have morphed throughout history, and even today differ from culture to culture. These differences over time and across cultures can be related to changes in technologies, but also to contemporary human needs and expectations, political influences, war, environmental and economic constraints. In this course, students will explore edible landscapes through history, and the confluence of contemporary North American cultural norms, economic uncertainty and emerging technologies that have resulted in an upsurge in local foods, organic production, a rekindled interest in home cooking, residential gardens and community supported agriculture. Students will be challenged to creatively integrate these different landscape demands into recommendations of plants, production methods and designs appropriate for specific sites. Students will apply science as a way of knowing, which provides them with a powerful tool for lifelong problem-solving and decision-making about food sources, and also about the impact of personal choices regarding residential landscapes on neighborhoods, watersheds, and, collectively, on regional phenomena such as pollution remediation and addressing global warming.

Geophytes are early harbingers of spring. In this course we will examine the variety of herbaceous perennial spring-flowering crops with underground storage organs (geophytes). As spring progresses, different genera and species predominate in the flowering landscape. In contrast, greenhouse production of potted plant and cut flower geophytic crops can be simultaneous rather than sequential. This course will consist of hands-on taxonomic identification of geophyte crops, their uses in landscape design, and production essentials. The laboratory will be hands-on, experiential learning with many visits of outdoor landscape, gardens, production greenhouses, and interiorscapes.

Class Description:
Floral design is a course to educate students in the creation of professional floral designs to enhance the human experience in a variety of occasions. Floral design is a prime example of a horticulture discipline which encompasses a wide range of subjects across the educational spectrum, such as physics, mechanical engineering, art, history, horticulture, landscape architecture, architecture, liberal arts, music, business, human ecology, food science, biology, botany, ecology, medicine, and mortuary science. Flowers have historically been used to express emotions; we will examine the historic uses of flowers in various civilizations for celebrating human life and death, as well as how these uses influence our current floral design spectrum. Additional features of flowers, such as fragrance, will demonstrate the sensory value of their use. Students from a diverse array of majors, professional interests, and rank across the university (undergraduate, continuing education, MAST, Master of Agriculture, graduate, Regent's Scholars) enroll in Floral Design each year. Environmental Horticulture undergraduate students may enroll in this class to fulfill a Hort elective. The class is designed to allow your creative and artistic talents blossom as you learn to about the artistic use of flowers. It may be a welcome stress-reliever in your busy schedules. You will take floral arrangements home almost every week. Additionally, depending on your professional background, this course will aid in enhancing your career in any field.

Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. Millions of acres across the United States are devoted to turfgrass. Home lawns, parks, athletic fields, golf course, and other turf areas play an important role in environmental quality. Homeowners have little knowledge about fertilizer and pesticide use, irrigation, and mowing. Although the impact of an individual homeowner may be small, the effect of millions of acres of home lawns can be significant. This course will focus on sustainable turfgrass management for the home lawn. The content will be presented in a fashion that focuses on environmentally responsible turfgrass management. The course will begin by presenting an overview of basic horticultural principles and then focus on turfgrass-specific topics. Lectures will provide information necessary for laboratory and discussion portions of the course. Students will learn how to identify common turfgrasses and then how to properly manage a home lawn in a sustainable way. The course will be presented entirely online and make extensive use of online discussion forums, wikis, blogs, and interactive Flash modules. Students will discuss important turfgrass science topics such as fertilizer run-off, pesticide use, and genetically-modified turf. This course will also equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain quality turf areas with reduced inputs, thereby reducing potential risk to the environment.

Course Catalog Description:
Organic fruit and vegetable production has been one of the fastest growing segments of the US economy for almost two decades, stimulating an overwhelming number of biological and ecological innovations to produce food using organic approaches. This course aims to increase student's knowledge of ecological concepts as applied to managing organic systems, with an emphasis on soil nutrient cycles and plant-soil-microbe interactions that serve as the cornerstone of organic systems. Students in this course will learn tools needed to manage an organic diversified vegetable operation. The course consists of two components: a classroom session two times each week for 50 minutes, and a laboratory session that meets before class on Tuesdays for two hours. The classroom session is designed to help students think about concepts and principles that are useful in planning and managing production strategies on organic farms. We spend a significant amount of our time reviewing soil nutrient cycling and its critical importance for organic farms, including how to effectively use soil and organic nutrient inputs such as cover crops, manure and fertilizers, to provide vegetable crops with the nutrients they need to grow. We also learn about successful marketing strategies for organic produce. Finally, near the end of the semester we will discuss pest management, including both weeds and disease/insect pests, and compare different tillage options available to organic producers. What we learn is then applied to planning next year's season of the UMN student organic farm. Throughout, we will use case studies, guest speakers, games, and active learning discussion approaches to move these classroom sessions "beyond the lecture" and allow students to engage with the material in a meaningful way. The lab is designed to allow a space to put into action some of the concepts students learn in lecture, including soil organic matter analysis, microgreen propagation, calculation of organic fertiliz

Description: Growing the Guilty Pleasures: Horticulture opportunities at the fringes! This course will focus on the science of techniques around the production, harvesting, processing of each of these opportunity crops. Although some are not grown in Minnesota, all of them are processed and sold here. For instance, the candy industry in Minnesota has a $138 million/year wholesale value which makes it larger than the greenhouse industry. Each crop covered represents a potential new business opportunity. To that end, guest speakers (new small business owners) in many of the crop areas will share their insights into starting a business. Students will be expected to know production, harvesting, and processing basics of each crop - and the science behind each. Problem solving will be used for teaching whenever possible. In addition, students will be given the opportunity to grow herb and specialty greens crops. Evaluation will occur through exams, homework, and a paper. All homework and exams are cumulative.

Class Description:
Ecological and physiological concepts are explored as a basis for regenerating grasslands, wetlands, forests and other landscapes. The extent to which restorations have succeeded or failed is often a reflection of the state of our understanding of ecological processes. Half of the course introduces students to the ecological and physiolocial concepts relevant to land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiological concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiolocial concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration has depended on scientific predictions vs. trial and error to develop cultural practices. The other half of the course provides students with and in-depth view of the restoration of specific kinds of ecological communities. For each ecommunity, students are provided with information on the history of restoratoin, the impetus for restorations (cultural, political), and the range of restoratoin practices and desired outcomes, and major limitations to success. Field visits are scheduled for the first half of the course.

Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course. A Directed Study should culminate in a report (typically written, but could be delivered using alternate methods such as web page, etc.) that communicates results of the Directed Study to the advisor. Credit will not be granted for Directed Study when a project is not completed. Students should complete the following steps: 1. Identify a faculty member that is willing to serve as an advisor for the directed study. 2. Select a project and with the faculty advisor to determine how many credits the experience should be taken for (no more then 3) based on University policy. 3. In consultation with the faculty advisor, prepare a written description of the proposed directed study including anticipated duration, and method of communicating the results. 4. Submit the description, signed by both the student and the faculty advisor, to the student support staff person assigned to the departmental curriculum committee (currently Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu). A permission number will then be provided to the student. 5. Complete the Directed Study during the semester of registration unless arrangements have been made in writing that the project will extend beyond one semester. 6. Submit a final report on the Directed Study to the faculty advisor.

Class Description:
Floral design is a course to educate students in the creation of professional floral designs to enhance the human experience in a variety of occasions. Floral design is a prime example of a horticulture discipline which encompasses a wide range of subjects across the educational spectrum, such as physics, mechanical engineering, art, history, horticulture, landscape architecture, architecture, liberal arts, music, business, human ecology, food science, biology, botany, ecology, medicine, and mortuary science. Flowers have historically been used to express emotions; we will examine the historic uses of flowers in various civilizations for celebrating human life and death, as well as how these uses influence our current floral design spectrum. Additional features of flowers, such as fragrance, will demonstrate the sensory value of their use. Students from a diverse array of majors, professional interests, and rank across the university (undergraduate, continuing education, MAST, Master of Agriculture, graduate, Regent's Scholars) enroll in Floral Design each year. Environmental Horticulture undergraduate students may enroll in this class to fulfill a Hort elective. The class is designed to allow your creative and artistic talents blossom as you learn to about the artistic use of flowers. It may be a welcome stress-reliever in your busy schedules. You will take floral arrangements home almost every week. Additionally, depending on your professional background, this course will aid in enhancing your career in any field.

Tracing our relationship with edible landscapes traces to our hunting-gathering origins. Technological/social changes that have distanced us from our food. Integrating food plants into pleasing, sustainable, and edible landscapes in yards, neighborhoods, and cities.
Class Notes:
For more information about this class, check out the course website. https://sites.google.com/a/umn.edu/hort-classes/1xxx-classes/hort-1014-the-edible-landscape
Class Description:
An edible landscape is simply a space, established and managed by humans, that supports edible plants. Contemporary edible landscapes in North America are found on scales ranging from the regional (monoculture commodity production) to local (orchards, market gardens), to neighborhood (community gardens) to residential (backyard and indoor gardens). Our close relationship with edible landscapes traces to the point in our hunting-gathering origins when we began imagining the transition to settled agriculture. Ancient garden designs that followed supported food production but also celebrated culturally important mythologies. Now, as a response to technological and social change we in North America have mostly delegated management of edible landscape spaces to a small minority of the population and distanced ourselves from our food sources. This course is a small step toward understanding, reclaiming and expanding edible landscape spaces. With imagination and environmental respect we can integrate food plants into pleasing, sustainable and edible landscapes in our yards, neighborhoods and even the region of the country in which we live. Edible landscapes are complex systems with many functions, including food of course, but also aesthetics, recreation and environmental remediation. Edible landscapes have morphed throughout history, and even today differ from culture to culture. These differences over time and across cultures can be related to changes in technologies, but also to contemporary human needs and expectations, political influences, war, environmental and economic constraints. In this course, students will explore edible landscapes through history, and the confluence of contemporary North American cultural norms, economic uncertainty and emerging technologies that have resulted in an upsurge in local foods, organic production, a rekindled interest in home cooking, residential gardens and community supported agriculture. Students will be challenged to creatively integrate these different landscape demands into recommendations of plants, production methods and designs appropriate for specific sites. Students will apply science as a way of knowing, which provides them with a powerful tool for lifelong problem-solving and decision-making about food sources, and also about the impact of personal choices regarding residential landscapes on neighborhoods, watersheds, and, collectively, on regional phenomena such as pollution remediation and addressing global warming.

Principles/techniques of propagating plants by seeds, cuttings, grafts, buds, layers, and division. Lectures on principles, labs on practice of various propagating techniques. Reading/discussion of related primary literature. prereq: Master of Professional Studies or instr consent
Class Description:
Plant propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You may have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that, in the Fall semester, the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling, I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily online through the use of text, audio, and video hosted on Moodle that you will work through interactively. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a digital camera capable of taking clearly focused close-ups (most times a simple point-and-shoot camera or cell phone can suffice), and the ability to upload those pictures to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing to remember about the hybrid class format is that it requires the self-discipline and motivation to set aside time each week to work through the online content just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. By doing so, you will find that the ability to revisit material at your convenience affords you the opportunity to explore concepts more thoroughly and gain a deeper understanding of the material in a timeframe comparable to conventional lectures. Labs are taught in a face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a state-of-the-art greenhouse facility. And, yes?you get to keep the plants you propagate. The Wednesday night sessions, which are scheduled from 5:10-6:30pm, are face-to-face and are held on the St. Paul campus. During that time we'll have the chance to introduce and explore the topics addressed in that week's online content as well as discuss questions students might have about the previous week's material in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. You should keep in mind when planning your class schedule that the Wednesday night sessions are also when the class exams will be scheduled.

Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. Millions of acres across the United States are devoted to turfgrass. Home lawns, parks, athletic fields, golf course, and other turf areas play an important role in environmental quality. Homeowners have little knowledge about fertilizer and pesticide use, irrigation, and mowing. Although the impact of an individual homeowner may be small, the effect of millions of acres of home lawns can be significant. This course will focus on sustainable turfgrass management for the home lawn. The content will be presented in a fashion that focuses on environmentally responsible turfgrass management. The course will begin by presenting an overview of basic horticultural principles and then focus on turfgrass-specific topics. Lectures will provide information necessary for laboratory and discussion portions of the course. Students will learn how to identify common turfgrasses and then how to properly manage a home lawn in a sustainable way. The course will be presented entirely online and make extensive use of online discussion forums, wikis, blogs, and interactive Flash modules. Students will discuss important turfgrass science topics such as fertilizer run-off, pesticide use, and genetically-modified turf. This course will also equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain quality turf areas with reduced inputs, thereby reducing potential risk to the environment.

Course Catalog Description:
Organic fruit and vegetable production has been one of the fastest growing segments of the US economy for almost two decades, stimulating an overwhelming number of biological and ecological innovations to produce food using organic approaches. This course aims to increase student's knowledge of ecological concepts as applied to managing organic systems, with an emphasis on soil nutrient cycles and plant-soil-microbe interactions that serve as the cornerstone of organic systems. Students in this course will learn tools needed to manage an organic diversified vegetable operation. The course consists of two components: a classroom session two times each week for 50 minutes, and a laboratory session that meets before class on Tuesdays for two hours. The classroom session is designed to help students think about concepts and principles that are useful in planning and managing production strategies on organic farms. We spend a significant amount of our time reviewing soil nutrient cycling and its critical importance for organic farms, including how to effectively use soil and organic nutrient inputs such as cover crops, manure and fertilizers, to provide vegetable crops with the nutrients they need to grow. We also learn about successful marketing strategies for organic produce. Finally, near the end of the semester we will discuss pest management, including both weeds and disease/insect pests, and compare different tillage options available to organic producers. What we learn is then applied to planning next year's season of the UMN student organic farm. Throughout, we will use case studies, guest speakers, games, and active learning discussion approaches to move these classroom sessions "beyond the lecture" and allow students to engage with the material in a meaningful way. The lab is designed to allow a space to put into action some of the concepts students learn in lecture, including soil organic matter analysis, microgreen propagation, calculation of organic fertiliz

Class Description:
Ecological and physiological concepts are explored as a basis for regenerating grasslands, wetlands, forests and other landscapes. The extent to which restorations have succeeded or failed is often a reflection of the state of our understanding of ecological processes. Half of the course introduces students to the ecological and physiolocial concepts relevant to land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiological concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiolocial concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration has depended on scientific predictions vs. trial and error to develop cultural practices. The other half of the course provides students with and in-depth view of the restoration of specific kinds of ecological communities. For each ecommunity, students are provided with information on the history of restoratoin, the impetus for restorations (cultural, political), and the range of restoratoin practices and desired outcomes, and major limitations to success. Field visits are scheduled for the first half of the course.

Class Description:
Plant propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You may have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that, in the Fall semester, the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling, I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily online through the use of text, audio, and video hosted on Moodle that you will work through interactively. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a digital camera capable of taking clearly focused close-ups (most times a simple point-and-shoot camera or cell phone can suffice), and the ability to upload those pictures to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing to remember about the hybrid class format is that it requires the self-discipline and motivation to set aside time each week to work through the online content just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. By doing so, you will find that the ability to revisit material at your convenience affords you the opportunity to explore concepts more thoroughly and gain a deeper understanding of the material in a timeframe comparable to conventional lectures. Labs are taught in a face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a state-of-the-art greenhouse facility. And, yes?you get to keep the plants you propagate. The Wednesday night sessions, which are scheduled from 5:10-6:30pm, are face-to-face and are held on the St. Paul campus. During that time we'll have the chance to introduce and explore the topics addressed in that week's online content as well as discuss questions students might have about the previous week's material in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. You should keep in mind when planning your class schedule that the Wednesday night sessions are also when the class exams will be scheduled.

Class Notes:
For the online course this includes lectures and labs and requires purchase of a supply box at the bookstore (~$230) plus either purchasing flowers/foliage each week or picking them in the landscape (if you have a garden or location in which to do this).
Class Description:
Floral design is a course to educate students in the creation of professional floral designs to enhance the human experience in a variety of occasions. Floral design is a prime example of a horticulture discipline which encompasses a wide range of subjects across the educational spectrum, such as physics, mechanical engineering, art, history, horticulture, landscape architecture, architecture, liberal arts, music, business, human ecology, food science, biology, botany, ecology, medicine, and mortuary science. Flowers have historically been used to express emotions; we will examine the historic uses of flowers in various civilizations for celebrating human life and death, as well as how these uses influence our current floral design spectrum. Additional features of flowers, such as fragrance, will demonstrate the sensory value of their use. Students from a diverse array of majors, professional interests, and rank across the university (undergraduate, continuing education, MAST, Master of Agriculture, graduate, Regent's Scholars) enroll in Floral Design each year. Environmental Horticulture undergraduate students may enroll in this class to fulfill a Hort elective. The class is designed to allow your creative and artistic talents blossom as you learn to about the artistic use of flowers. It may be a welcome stress-reliever in your busy schedules. You will take floral arrangements home almost every week. Additionally, depending on your professional background, this course will aid in enhancing your career in any field.

Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

A Directed Study should culminate in a report (typically written, but could be delivered using alternate methods such as web page, etc.) that communicates results of the Directed Study to the advisor. Credit will not be granted for Directed Study when a project is not completed. Students should complete the following steps: 1. Identify a faculty member that is willing to serve as an advisor for the directed study. 2. Select a project and with the faculty advisor to determine how many credits the experience should be taken for (no more then 3) based on University policy. 3. In consultation with the faculty advisor, prepare a written description of the proposed directed study including anticipated duration, and method of communicating the results. 4. Submit the description, signed by both the student and the faculty advisor, to the student support staff person assigned to the departmental curriculum committee (currently Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu). A permission number will then be provided to the student. 5. Complete the Directed Study during the semester of registration unless arrangements have been made in writing that the project will extend beyond one semester. 6. Submit a final report on the Directed Study to the faculty advisor.

Contemporary edible landscapes in North America are found on scales ranging from the regional (monoculture commodity production) to local (orchards, market gardens), to neighborhood (community gardens) to residential (backyard and indoor gardens). Our close relationship with edible landscapes traces to the point in our hunting-gathering origins when we began imagining the transition to settled agriculture. Ancient garden designs that followed supported food production but also celebrated culturally important mythologies. Now, as a response to technological and social change we in North America have mostly delegated management of edible landscape spaces to a small minority of the population and distanced ourselves from our food sources. This course is a small step toward understanding, reclaiming and expanding edible landscape spaces. With imagination and environmental respect we can integrate food plants into pleasing, sustainable and edible landscapes in our yards, neighborhoods and even the region of the country in which we live. Edible landscapes are complex systems with many functions, including food of course, but also aesthetics, recreation and environmental remediation. Edible landscapes have morphed throughout history, and even today differ from culture to culture. These differences over time and across cultures can be related to changes in technologies, but also to contemporary human needs and expectations, political influences, war, environmental and economic constraints. In this course, students will explore edible landscapes through history, and the confluence of contemporary North American cultural norms, economic uncertainty and emerging technologies that have resulted in an upsurge in local foods, organic production, a rekindled interest in home cooking, residential gardens and community supported agriculture. Students will be challenged to creatively integrate these different landscape demands into recommendations of plants, production methods and designs appropriate for specific sites. Students will apply science as a way of knowing, which provides them with a powerful tool for lifelong problem-solving and decision-making about food sources, and also about the impact of personal choices regarding residential landscapes on neighborhoods, watersheds, and, collectively, on regional phenomena such as pollution remediation and addressing global warming.

Geophytes are early harbingers of spring. In this course we will examine the variety of herbaceous perennial spring-flowering crops with underground storage organs (geophytes). As spring progresses, different genera and species predominate in the flowering landscape. In contrast, greenhouse production of potted plant and cut flower geophytic crops can be simultaneous rather than sequential. This course will consist of hands-on taxonomic identification of geophyte crops, their uses in landscape design, and production essentials. The laboratory will be hands-on, experiential learning with many visits of outdoor landscape, gardens, production greenhouses, and interiorscapes.

Class Notes:
Lecture content for this course will be delivered on-line and attendance in this lecture is recommended. See course guide for more information on this hybrid format. Students must have regular access to high speed internet and a basic digital camera. Class Site Link: https://sites.google.com/a/umn.edu/hort-classes/1xxx-classes/hort-1001-plant-propagation
Class Description:
Plant Propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You might have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that in the Fall semester the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily on-line through the use of text, audio, video, and discussions hosted on Moodle. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a rudimentary digital camera (it doesn't have to be fancy, but it does need to be able to take clearly focused closeups), and the ability to upload to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing though is that you really must have the self-discipline to set aside specific times every week to work through the online lecture material just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. The labs are taught in a conventional, face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a great greenhouse facility. Yes, you get to keep the plants you propagate.

I will hold a face to face class meeting from 5:10pm to 6:30pm every Wednesday evening on the St. Paul campus. The class meeting is an opportunity for me to introduce the topics addressed in that week's on-line lecture and to answer questions students have about the previous week's topics. On three of those Wedesdays during our class meeting time you will have semester exams. The exam dates are October 3, October 31 and November 28. Based on previous years' official final exam schedules I expect the final exam to be held on Wednesday December 19 at 5:10 pm. You must accommodate these exam times in your schedule.

Plant Prop is a very interesting and memorable course that will have you looking at the world around you, and especially at the plants in the world around you, in ways and at a level of detail that you have probably never looked before. For at least one semester you will be a serious plant geek who on a weekly basis is more likely than not to enthusiastically tell your friends and family about something new you learned about plants. And even though the lectures are on-line, the course doesn't feel cold and distant. The labs and class meetings provide a means of direct contact and a sense of community among instructors and students.

Course Catalog Description:
Principles and techniques of propagating plants by seeds, cuttings, grafts, buds, layers, and division. Lectures on principles; labs on practice of various propagating techniques.
Class Description:
Plant Propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You might have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that in the Fall semester the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily on-line through the use of text, audio, video, and discussions hosted on Moodle. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a rudimentary digital camera (it doesn't have to be fancy, but it does need to be able to take clearly focused closeups), and the ability to upload to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing though is that you really must have the self-discipline to set aside specific times every week to work through the online lecture material just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. The labs are taught in a conventional, face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a great greenhouse facility. Yes, you get to keep the plants you propagate.

I will hold a face to face class meeting from 5:10pm to 6:30pm every Wednesday evening on the St. Paul campus. The class meeting is an opportunity for me to introduce the topics addressed in that week's on-line lecture and to answer questions students have about the previous week's topics. On three of those Wedesdays during our class meeting time you will have semester exams. The exam dates are October 3, October 31 and November 28. Based on previous years' official final exam schedules I expect the final exam to be held on Wednesday December 19 at 5:10 pm. You must accommodate these exam times in your schedule.

Plant Prop is a very interesting and memorable course that will have you looking at the world around you, and especially at the plants in the world around you, in ways and at a level of detail that you have probably never looked before. For at least one semester you will be a serious plant geek who on a weekly basis is more likely than not to enthusiastically tell your friends and family about something new you learned about plants. And even though the lectures are on-line, the course doesn't feel cold and distant. The labs and class meetings provide a means of direct contact and a sense of community among instructors and students.

Class Description:
Floral design is a course to educate students in the creation of professional floral designs to enhance the human experience in a variety of occasions. Floral design is a prime example of a horticulture discipline which encompasses a wide range of subjects across the educational spectrum, such as physics, mechanical engineering, art, history, horticulture, landscape architecture, architecture, liberal arts, music, business, human ecology, food science, biology, botany, ecology, medicine, and mortuary science. Flowers have historically been used to express emotions; we will examine the historic uses of flowers in various civilizations for celebrating human life and death, as well as how these uses influence our current floral design spectrum. Additional features of flowers, such as fragrance, will demonstrate the sensory value of their use. Students from a diverse array of majors, professional interests, and rank across the university (undergraduate, continuing education, MAST, Master of Agriculture, graduate, Regent's Scholars) enroll in Floral Design each year. Environmental Horticulture undergraduate students may enroll in this class to fulfill a Hort elective. The class is designed to allow your creative and artistic talents blossom as you learn to about the artistic use of flowers. It may be a welcome stress-reliever in your busy schedules. You will take floral arrangements home almost every week. Additionally, depending on your professional background, this course will aid in enhancing your career in any field.

Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. Millions of acres across the United States are devoted to turfgrass. Home lawns, parks, athletic fields, golf course, and other turf areas play an important role in environmental quality. Homeowners have little knowledge about fertilizer and pesticide use, irrigation, and mowing. Although the impact of an individual homeowner may be small, the effect of millions of acres of home lawns can be significant. This course will focus on sustainable turfgrass management for the home lawn. The content will be presented in a fashion that focuses on environmentally responsible turfgrass management. The course will begin by presenting an overview of basic horticultural principles and then focus on turfgrass-specific topics. Lectures will provide information necessary for laboratory and discussion portions of the course. Students will learn how to identify common turfgrasses and then how to properly manage a home lawn in a sustainable way. The course will be presented entirely online and make extensive use of online discussion forums, wikis, blogs, and interactive Flash modules. Students will discuss important turfgrass science topics such as fertilizer run-off, pesticide use, and genetically-modified turf. This course will also equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain quality turf areas with reduced inputs, thereby reducing potential risk to the environment.

Class Description:
Bee pollinators (honey bees, Apis mellifera, and over 4000 species of native bees) are in trouble. Bee health is failing across Minnesota and the nation due to a scarcity of bee-friendly flowers leading to nutritional deficiencies, chronic exposure to pesticides, and debilitating diseases and parasites. Bees play a key role in American agriculture through pollination; the U.S. grows more than one hundred crops that either need or benefit from pollinators with an economic value estimated at $20 billion in 2000. The Upper Midwest, including MN, ND and SD are the top honey producing states in the nation. Commercial beekeepers transport their colonies to these states for the summer months for honey production after fulfilling pollination contracts in other parts of the nation. People are taking action to rectify the decline of honey bees and native pollinators by becoming beekeepers, reducing pesticide exposure to bees, and planting flowers to support the nutritional needs of all bees. In addition, a number of non-bee pollinators play important roles in managed landscapes. The course will cover pollinator protection in managed landscapes such as gardens, lawns, roadsides, small farms, organic farms, conventional farms, golf courses, urban parks, rural parklands, prairies etc. The course will begin by introducing you to pollinators and the importance of pollinators in agricultural and other managed and natural landscapes. Next you will examine the risks to pollinators and ways that those risks can be reduced, minimized, or overcome. Finally, you will learn about the ways that public policy has impacted pollinators and how future policy decisions will affect pollinator protection efforts.

Class Description:
Ecological and physiological concepts are explored as a basis for regenerating grasslands, wetlands, forests and other landscapes. The extent to which restorations have succeeded or failed is often a reflection of the state of our understanding of ecological processes. Half of the course introduces students to the ecological and physiolocial concepts relevant to land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiological concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiolocial concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration has depended on scientific predictions vs. trial and error to develop cultural practices. The other half of the course provides students with and in-depth view of the restoration of specific kinds of ecological communities. For each ecommunity, students are provided with information on the history of restoratoin, the impetus for restorations (cultural, political), and the range of restoratoin practices and desired outcomes, and major limitations to success. Field visits are scheduled for the first half of the course.

Class Description:
Plant propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You may have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that, in the Fall semester, the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling, I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily online through the use of text, audio, and video hosted on Moodle that you will work through interactively. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a digital camera capable of taking clearly focused close-ups (most times a simple point-and-shoot camera or cell phone can suffice), and the ability to upload those pictures to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing to remember about the hybrid class format is that it requires the self-discipline and motivation to set aside time each week to work through the online content just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. By doing so, you will find that the ability to revisit material at your convenience affords you the opportunity to explore concepts more thoroughly and gain a deeper understanding of the material in a timeframe comparable to conventional lectures. Labs are taught in a face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a state-of-the-art greenhouse facility. And, yes?you get to keep the plants you propagate. The Wednesday night sessions, which are scheduled from 5:10-6:30pm, are face-to-face and are held on the St. Paul campus. During that time we'll have the chance to introduce and explore the topics addressed in that week's online content as well as discuss questions students might have about the previous week's material in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. You should keep in mind when planning your class schedule that the Wednesday night sessions are also when the class exams will be scheduled.

Class Description:
Plant propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You may have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that, in the Fall semester, the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling, I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily online through the use of text, audio, and video hosted on Moodle that you will work through interactively. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a digital camera capable of taking clearly focused close-ups (most times a simple point-and-shoot camera or cell phone can suffice), and the ability to upload those pictures to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing to remember about the hybrid class format is that it requires the self-discipline and motivation to set aside time each week to work through the online content just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. By doing so, you will find that the ability to revisit material at your convenience affords you the opportunity to explore concepts more thoroughly and gain a deeper understanding of the material in a timeframe comparable to conventional lectures. Labs are taught in a face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a state-of-the-art greenhouse facility. And, yes?you get to keep the plants you propagate. The Wednesday night sessions, which are scheduled from 5:10-6:30pm, are face-to-face and are held on the St. Paul campus. During that time we'll have the chance to introduce and explore the topics addressed in that week's online content as well as discuss questions students might have about the previous week's material in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. You should keep in mind when planning your class schedule that the Wednesday night sessions are also when the class exams will be scheduled.

Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course. A Directed Study should culminate in a report (typically written, but could be delivered using alternate methods such as web page, etc.) that communicates results of the Directed Study to the advisor. Credit will not be granted for Directed Study when a project is not completed. Students should complete the following steps: 1. Identify a faculty member that is willing to serve as an advisor for the directed study. 2. Select a project and with the faculty advisor to determine how many credits the experience should be taken for (no more then 3) based on University policy. 3. In consultation with the faculty advisor, prepare a written description of the proposed directed study including anticipated duration, and method of communicating the results. 4. Submit the description, signed by both the student and the faculty advisor, to the student support staff person assigned to the departmental curriculum committee (currently Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu). A permission number will then be provided to the student. 5. Complete the Directed Study during the semester of registration unless arrangements have been made in writing that the project will extend beyond one semester. 6. Submit a final report on the Directed Study to the faculty advisor.

Class Description:
An edible landscape is simply a space, established and managed by humans, that supports edible plants. Contemporary edible landscapes in North America are found on scales ranging from the regional (monoculture commodity production) to local (orchards, market gardens), to neighborhood (community gardens) to residential (backyard and indoor gardens). Our close relationship with edible landscapes traces to the point in our hunting-gathering origins when we began imagining the transition to settled agriculture. Ancient garden designs that followed supported food production but also celebrated culturally important mythologies. Now, as a response to technological and social change we in North America have mostly delegated management of edible landscape spaces to a small minority of the population and distanced ourselves from our food sources. This course is a small step toward understanding, reclaiming and expanding edible landscape spaces. With imagination and environmental respect we can integrate food plants into pleasing, sustainable and edible landscapes in our yards, neighborhoods and even the region of the country in which we live. Edible landscapes are complex systems with many functions, including food of course, but also aesthetics, recreation and environmental remediation. Edible landscapes have morphed throughout history, and even today differ from culture to culture. These differences over time and across cultures can be related to changes in technologies, but also to contemporary human needs and expectations, political influences, war, environmental and economic constraints. In this course, students will explore edible landscapes through history, and the confluence of contemporary North American cultural norms, economic uncertainty and emerging technologies that have resulted in an upsurge in local foods, organic production, a rekindled interest in home cooking, residential gardens and community supported agriculture. Students will be challenged to creatively integrate these different landscape demands into recommendations of plants, production methods and designs appropriate for specific sites. Students will apply science as a way of knowing, which provides them with a powerful tool for lifelong problem-solving and decision-making about food sources, and also about the impact of personal choices regarding residential landscapes on neighborhoods, watersheds, and, collectively, on regional phenomena such as pollution remediation and addressing global warming.

The laboratories consist of standard lab protocols, guest faculty protocols as well as a discovery environment where individual students undertake self-directed propagation research. Lecture, lab.

Course Catalog Description:
Principles and techniques of propagating plants by seeds, cuttings, grafts, buds, layers, and division. Lectures on principles; labs on practice of various propagating techniques.
Class Notes:
Lecture content for this course will be delivered on-line and attendance in this lecture is recommended. See course guide for more information on this hybrid format. Students must have regular access to high speed internet and a basic digital camera.
Class Description:
Plant Propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You might have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that in the Fall semester the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily on-line through the use of text, audio, video, and discussions hosted on Moodle. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a rudimentary digital camera (it doesn't have to be fancy, but it does need to be able to take clearly focused closeups), and the ability to upload to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing though is that you really must have the self-discipline to set aside specific times every week to work through the online lecture material just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. The labs are taught in a conventional, face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a great greenhouse facility. Yes, you get to keep the plants you propagate.

I will hold a face to face class meeting from 5:10pm to 6:30pm every Wednesday evening on the St. Paul campus. The class meeting is an opportunity for me to introduce the topics addressed in that week's on-line lecture and to answer questions students have about the previous week's topics. On three of those Wedesdays during our class meeting time you will have semester exams. The exam dates are October 3, October 31 and November 28. Based on previous years' official final exam schedules I expect the final exam to be held on Wednesday December 19 at 5:10 pm. You must accommodate these exam times in your schedule.

Plant Prop is a very interesting and memorable course that will have you looking at the world around you, and especially at the plants in the world around you, in ways and at a level of detail that you have probably never looked before. For at least one semester you will be a serious plant geek who on a weekly basis is more likely than not to enthusiastically tell your friends and family about something new you learned about plants. And even though the lectures are on-line, the course doesn't feel cold and distant. The labs and class meetings provide a means of direct contact and a sense of community among instructors and students.

Plant Prop is a very interesting and memorable course that will have you looking at the world around you, and especially at the plants in the world around you, in ways and at a level of detail that you have probably never looked before. For at least one semester you will be a serious plant geek who on a weekly basis is more likely than not to enthusiastically tell your friends and family about something new you learned about plants. And even though the lectures are on-line, the course doesn't feel cold and distant. The labs and class meetings provide a means of direct contact and a sense of community among instructors and students.

Course Catalog Description:
Principles and techniques of propagating plants by seeds, cuttings, grafts, buds, layers, and division. Lectures on principles; labs on practice of various propagating techniques.
Class Description:
Plant Propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You might have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that in the Fall semester the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily on-line through the use of text, audio, video, and discussions hosted on Moodle. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a rudimentary digital camera (it doesn't have to be fancy, but it does need to be able to take clearly focused closeups), and the ability to upload to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing though is that you really must have the self-discipline to set aside specific times every week to work through the online lecture material just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. The labs are taught in a conventional, face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a great greenhouse facility. Yes, you get to keep the plants you propagate.

I will hold a face to face class meeting from 5:10pm to 6:30pm every Wednesday evening on the St. Paul campus. The class meeting is an opportunity for me to introduce the topics addressed in that week's on-line lecture and to answer questions students have about the previous week's topics. On three of those Wedesdays during our class meeting time you will have semester exams. The exam dates are October 3, October 31 and November 28. Based on previous years' official final exam schedules I expect the final exam to be held on Wednesday December 19 at 5:10 pm. You must accommodate these exam times in your schedule.

Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. Millions of acres across the United States are devoted to turfgrass. Home lawns, parks, athletic fields, golf course, and other turf areas play an important role in environmental quality. Homeowners have little knowledge about fertilizer and pesticide use, irrigation, and mowing. Although the impact of an individual homeowner may be small, the effect of millions of acres of home lawns can be significant. This course will focus on sustainable turfgrass management for the home lawn. The content will be presented in a fashion that focuses on environmentally responsible turfgrass management. The course will begin by presenting an overview of basic horticultural principles and then focus on turfgrass-specific topics. Lectures will provide information necessary for laboratory and discussion portions of the course. Students will learn how to identify common turfgrasses and then how to properly manage a home lawn in a sustainable way. The course will be presented entirely online and make extensive use of online discussion forums, wikis, blogs, and interactive Flash modules. Students will discuss important turfgrass science topics such as fertilizer run-off, pesticide use, and genetically-modified turf. This course will also equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain quality turf areas with reduced inputs, thereby reducing potential risk to the environment.

Class Description:
Plant propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You may have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that, in the Fall semester, the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling, I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily online through the use of text, audio, and video hosted on Moodle that you will work through interactively. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a digital camera capable of taking clearly focused close-ups (most times a simple point-and-shoot camera or cell phone can suffice), and the ability to upload those pictures to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing to remember about the hybrid class format is that it requires the self-discipline and motivation to set aside time each week to work through the online content just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. By doing so, you will find that the ability to revisit material at your convenience affords you the opportunity to explore concepts more thoroughly and gain a deeper understanding of the material in a timeframe comparable to conventional lectures. Labs are taught in a face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a state-of-the-art greenhouse facility. And, yes?you get to keep the plants you propagate. The Wednesday night sessions, which are scheduled from 5:10-6:30pm, are face-to-face and are held on the St. Paul campus. During that time we'll have the chance to introduce and explore the topics addressed in that week's online content as well as discuss questions students might have about the previous week's material in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. You should keep in mind when planning your class schedule that the Wednesday night sessions are also when the class exams will be scheduled.

By doing so, you will find that the ability to revisit material at your convenience affords you the opportunity to explore concepts more thoroughly and gain a deeper understanding of the material in a timeframe comparable to conventional lectures. Labs are taught in a face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a state-of-the-art greenhouse facility. And, yes?you get to keep the plants you propagate. The Wednesday night sessions, which are scheduled from 5:10-6:30pm, are face-to-face and are held on the St. Paul campus. During that time we'll have the chance to introduce and explore the topics addressed in that week's online content as well as discuss questions students might have about the previous week's material in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. You should keep in mind when planning your class schedule that the Wednesday night sessions are also when the class exams will be scheduled.

Class Description:
Plant propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You may have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that, in the Fall semester, the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling, I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily online through the use of text, audio, and video hosted on Moodle that you will work through interactively. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a digital camera capable of taking clearly focused close-ups (most times a simple point-and-shoot camera or cell phone can suffice), and the ability to upload those pictures to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing to remember about the hybrid class format is that it requires the self-discipline and motivation to set aside time each week to work through the online content just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. By doing so, you will find that the ability to revisit material at your convenience affords you the opportunity to explore concepts more thoroughly and gain a deeper understanding of the material in a timeframe comparable to conventional lectures.

Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course. A Directed Study should culminate in a report (typically written, but could be delivered using alternate methods such as web page, etc.) that communicates results of the Directed Study to the advisor. Credit will not be granted for Directed Study when a project is not completed. Students should complete the following steps: 1. Identify a faculty member that is willing to serve as an advisor for the directed study. 2. Select a project and with the faculty advisor to determine how many credits the experience should be taken for (no more then 3) based on University policy. 3. In consultation with the faculty advisor, prepare a written description of the proposed directed study including anticipated duration, and method of communicating the results. 4. Submit the description, signed by both the student and the faculty advisor, to the student support staff person assigned to the departmental curriculum committee (currently Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu). A permission number will then be provided to the student. 5. Complete the Directed Study during the semester of registration unless arrangements have been made in writing that the project will extend beyond one semester. 6. Submit a final report on the Directed Study to the faculty advisor.

Course Catalog Description:
Tracing our relationship with edible landscapes traces to our hunting-gathering origins. Technological/social changes that have distanced us from our food. Integrating food plants into pleasing, sustainable, and edible landscapes in yards, neighborhoods, and cities.
Class Description:
An edible landscape is simply a space, established and managed by humans, that supports edible plants. Contemporary edible landscapes in North America are found on scales ranging from the regional (monoculture commodity production) to local (orchards, market gardens), to neighborhood (community gardens) to residential (backyard and indoor gardens). Our close relationship with edible landscapes traces to the point in our hunting-gathering origins when we began imagining the transition to settled agriculture. Ancient garden designs that followed supported food production but also celebrated culturally important mythologies. Now, as a response to technological and social change we in North America have mostly delegated management of edible landscape spaces to a small minority of the population and distanced ourselves from our food sources. This course is a small step toward understanding, reclaiming and expanding edible landscape spaces. With imagination and environmental respect we can integrate food plants into pleasing, sustainable and edible landscapes in our yards, neighborhoods and even the region of the country in which we live. Edible landscapes are complex systems with many functions, including food of course, but also aesthetics, recreation and environmental remediation. Edible landscapes have morphed throughout history, and even today differ from culture to culture. These differences over time and across cultures can be related to changes in technologies, but also to contemporary human needs and expectations, political influences, war, environmental and economic constraints. In this course, students will explore edible landscapes through history, and the confluence of contemporary North American cultural norms, economic uncertainty and emerging technologies that have resulted in an upsurge in local foods, organic production, a rekindled interest in home cooking, residential gardens and community supported agriculture. Students will be challenged to creatively integrate these different landscape demands into recommendations of plants, production methods and designs appropriate for specific sites. Students will apply science as a way of knowing, which provides them with a powerful tool for lifelong problem-solving and decision-making about food sources, and also about the impact of personal choices regarding residential landscapes on neighborhoods, watersheds, and, collectively, on regional phenomena such as pollution remediation and addressing global warming.

A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course. A Directed Study should culminate in a report (typically written, but could be delivered using alternate methods such as web page, etc.) that communicates results of the Directed Study to the advisor. Credit will not be granted for Directed Study when a project is not completed. Students should complete the following steps: 1. Identify a faculty member that is willing to serve as an advisor for the directed study. 2. Select a project and with the faculty advisor to determine how many credits the experience should be taken for (no more then 3) based on University policy. 3. In consultation with the faculty advisor, prepare a written description of the proposed directed study including anticipated duration, and method of communicating the results. 4. Submit the description, signed by both the student and the faculty advisor, to the student support staff person assigned to the departmental curriculum committee (currently Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu). A permission number will then be provided to the student. 5. Complete the Directed Study during the semester of registration unless arrangements have been made in writing that the project will extend beyond one semester. 6. Submit a final report on the Directed Study to the faculty advisor.

Class Description:
This 3-credit class will meet weekly during Spring Semester 2014 and travel to Britain during Spring Break, March 14-23, 2014. There are no prerequisites for the class and it is open to all U of M students. The overall goals and objectives of this class are: 1. For students learn first-hand what the challenges are in creating and maintaining school gardens. 2. To connect U of M students to community garden projects for the semester, and hopefully long term as well. 3. To examine British methods of successful school gardens, especially their methods of engaging college students in school and community garden projects. 4. For students to have a successful international educational experience. During the semester, students will visit and learn from developing (new) and existing school garden programs in the Twin Cities. We will be examining the already defined critical elements of successful school gardens. Gardens as well as open green space such as a nature preserves, or a pollinator project, aquaculture and indoor gardening are all possible venues for students to engage with partner schools or community partners. Students will determine the needs, wants, constraints and issues for partner organizations or schools as they establish or advance their school garden projects. During Spring Break, students will visit gardens in the greater London area and learn from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) about successful school projects in Britain. By the end of the semester, students will have developed a working list of critical components of successful school gardens and partnered with a school or community garden project in the Twin Cities to examine these issues first-hand, and be able to compare and contrast London and Twin Cities school gardens.

Class Description:
This course is designed for undergraduate or Master of Agriculture students. The emphasis will be on plant genetics and breeding and requires no prior genetics course (although a biology course is required). Students taking the course should be interested in using the products of plant breeding rather than being a professional plant breeder. The purpose of this course is to cultivate an appreciation for the fundamental principles of plant genetics and genetic processes and the procedures plant breeders use to create new varieties. Topics range from molecular aspects of genetics, Mendelian genetics, biotechnology, and genomics to variety development, seed multiplication, and intellectual property issues. Class material on Web CT/ Web Vista.

Class Description:
Bee pollinators (honey bees, Apis mellifera, and over 4000 species of native bees) are in trouble. Bee health is failing across Minnesota and the nation due to a scarcity of bee-friendly flowers leading to nutritional deficiencies, chronic exposure to pesticides, and debilitating diseases and parasites. Bees play a key role in American agriculture through pollination; the U.S. grows more than one hundred crops that either need or benefit from pollinators with an economic value estimated at $20 billion in 2000. The Upper Midwest, including MN, ND and SD are the top honey producing states in the nation. Commercial beekeepers transport their colonies to these states for the summer months for honey production after fulfilling pollination contracts in other parts of the nation. People are taking action to rectify the decline of honey bees and native pollinators by becoming beekeepers, reducing pesticide exposure to bees, and planting flowers to support the nutritional needs of all bees. In addition, a number of non-bee pollinators play important roles in managed landscapes. The course will cover pollinator protection in managed landscapes such as gardens, lawns, roadsides, small farms, organic farms, conventional farms, golf courses, urban parks, rural parklands, prairies etc. The course will begin by introducing you to pollinators and the importance of pollinators in agricultural and other managed and natural landscapes. Next you will examine the risks to pollinators and ways that those risks can be reduced, minimized, or overcome. Finally, you will learn about the ways that public policy has impacted pollinators and how future policy decisions will affect pollinator protection efforts.

Class Description:
The purpose of this course is to acquaint students with the basic cultural requirements of commercially produced floral and nursery crops, growing structures for crops, gain experience in scheduling and growing various species, and conduct experiments to understand current problems. Through the use of interactive learning, written assignments, and in-class discussions students will learn crop requirements and the interactions between the horticultural distribution chain of breeders, producers, distributors, growers, retailers, and consumers. The course is designed for undergraduates (majors and non-majors) and graduates. This course complements Hort 4141W; we will cover new topic areas as well as use the information from that course herein. Upon completion of this course, each student should have command of the following concepts: - Identification of specific floral and nursery plant crops, including annuals, biennials, and perennials. - Be a decision-maker, both for growing crops as well as manipulating the correct environments for crop production, e.g. the proper growing structure and factors of plant growth. - Understand the requirements necessary to maximize asexual (% rooting) and sexual (% seed germination) propagation and yield potential. - Be conversant in the cultural requirements for the effective and timely production of floral and nursery plants. - Understand, manipulate, and anticipate the effects of the five factors of plant growth for quality plant production. - Be able to comprehend and discuss primary literature and transfer this information into workable testing by growers. - Maintain an organized lab book for collecting data. - Correctly summarize experimental results, communicate these findings verbally and in writing to your colleagues, and develop recommendations. - Recognize high quality crops, using industry standards.

Class Notes:
Lecture content for this course will be delivered on-line and attendance in this lecture is recommended. See course guide for more information on this hybrid format. Students must have regular access to high speed internet and a basic digital camera.
Class Description:
Plant Propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You might have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that in the Fall semester the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily on-line through the use of text, audio, video, and discussions hosted on Moodle. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a rudimentary digital camera (it doesn't have to be fancy, but it does need to be able to take clearly focused closeups), and the ability to upload to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing though is that you really must have the self-discipline to set aside specific times every week to work through the online lecture material just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. The labs are taught in a conventional, face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a great greenhouse facility. Yes, you get to keep the plants you propagate.

I will hold a face to face class meeting from 5:10pm to 6:30pm every Wednesday evening on the St. Paul campus. The class meeting is an opportunity for me to introduce the topics addressed in that week's on-line lecture and to answer questions students have about the previous week's topics. On three of those Wedesdays during our class meeting time you will have semester exams. The exam dates are October 3, October 31 and November 28. Based on previous years' official final exam schedules I expect the final exam to be held on Wednesday December 19 at 5:10 pm. You must accommodate these exam times in your schedule.

Plant Prop is a very interesting and memorable course that will have you looking at the world around you, and especially at the plants in the world around you, in ways and at a level of detail that you have probably never looked before. For at least one semester you will be a serious plant geek who on a weekly basis is more likely than not to enthusiastically tell your friends and family about something new you learned about plants. And even though the lectures are on-line, the course doesn't feel cold and distant. The labs and class meetings provide a means of direct contact and a sense of community among instructors and students.

Plant Prop is a very interesting and memorable course that will have you looking at the world around you, and especially at the plants in the world around you, in ways and at a level of detail that you have probably never looked before. For at least one semester you will be a serious plant geek who on a weekly basis is more likely than not to enthusiastically tell your friends and family about something new you learned about plants. And even though the lectures are on-line, the course doesn't feel cold and distant. The labs and class meetings provide a means of direct contact and a sense of community among instructors and students.

Course Catalog Description:
Principles and techniques of propagating plants by seeds, cuttings, grafts, buds, layers, and division. Lectures on principles; labs on practice of various propagating techniques.
Class Description:
Plant Propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You might have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that in the Fall semester the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily on-line through the use of text, audio, video, and discussions hosted on Moodle. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a rudimentary digital camera (it doesn't have to be fancy, but it does need to be able to take clearly focused closeups), and the ability to upload to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing though is that you really must have the self-discipline to set aside specific times every week to work through the online lecture material just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. The labs are taught in a conventional, face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a great greenhouse facility. Yes, you get to keep the plants you propagate.

I will hold a face to face class meeting from 5:10pm to 6:30pm every Wednesday evening on the St. Paul campus. The class meeting is an opportunity for me to introduce the topics addressed in that week's on-line lecture and to answer questions students have about the previous week's topics. On three of those Wedesdays during our class meeting time you will have semester exams. The exam dates are October 3, October 31 and November 28. Based on previous years' official final exam schedules I expect the final exam to be held on Wednesday December 19 at 5:10 pm. You must accommodate these exam times in your schedule.

Class Description:
Floral design is a course to educate students in the creation of professional floral designs to enhance the human experience in a variety of occasions. Floral design is a prime example of a horticulture discipline which encompasses a wide range of subjects across the educational spectrum, such as physics, mechanical engineering, art, history, horticulture, landscape architecture, architecture, liberal arts, music, business, human ecology, food science, biology, botany, ecology, medicine, and mortuary science. Flowers have historically been used to express emotions; we will examine the historic uses of flowers in various civilizations for celebrating human life and death, as well as how these uses influence our current floral design spectrum. Additional features of flowers, such as fragrance, will demonstrate the sensory value of their use. Students from a diverse array of majors, professional interests, and rank across the university (undergraduate, continuing education, MAST, Master of Agriculture, graduate, Regent's Scholars) enroll in Floral Design each year. Environmental Horticulture undergraduate students may enroll in this class to fulfill a Hort elective. The class is designed to allow your creative and artistic talents blossom as you learn to about the artistic use of flowers. It may be a welcome stress-reliever in your busy schedules. You will take floral arrangements home almost every week. Additionally, depending on your professional background, this course will aid in enhancing your career in any field.

Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. Millions of acres across the United States are devoted to turfgrass. Home lawns, parks, athletic fields, golf course, and other turf areas play an important role in environmental quality. Homeowners have little knowledge about fertilizer and pesticide use, irrigation, and mowing. Although the impact of an individual homeowner may be small, the effect of millions of acres of home lawns can be significant. This course will focus on sustainable turfgrass management for the home lawn. The content will be presented in a fashion that focuses on environmentally responsible turfgrass management. The course will begin by presenting an overview of basic horticultural principles and then focus on turfgrass-specific topics. Lectures will provide information necessary for laboratory and discussion portions of the course. Students will learn how to identify common turfgrasses and then how to properly manage a home lawn in a sustainable way. The course will be presented entirely online and make extensive use of online discussion forums, wikis, blogs, and interactive Flash modules. Students will discuss important turfgrass science topics such as fertilizer run-off, pesticide use, and genetically-modified turf. This course will also equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain quality turf areas with reduced inputs, thereby reducing potential risk to the environment.

Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

A Directed Study should culminate in a report (typically written, but could be delivered using alternate methods such as web page, etc.) that communicates results of the Directed Study to the advisor. Credit will not be granted for Directed Study when a project is not completed. Students should complete the following steps: 1. Identify a faculty member that is willing to serve as an advisor for the directed study. 2. Select a project and with the faculty advisor to determine how many credits the experience should be taken for (no more then 3) based on University policy. 3. In consultation with the faculty advisor, prepare a written description of the proposed directed study including anticipated duration, and method of communicating the results. 4. Submit the description, signed by both the student and the faculty advisor, to the student support staff person assigned to the departmental curriculum committee (currently Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu). A permission number will then be provided to the student. 5. Complete the Directed Study during the semester of registration unless arrangements have been made in writing that the project will extend beyond one semester. 6. Submit a final report on the Directed Study to the faculty advisor.

Ecological and physiological concepts are explored as a basis for regenerating grasslands, wetlands, forests and other landscapes. The extent to which restorations have succeeded or failed is often a reflection of the state of our understanding of ecological processes. Half of the course introduces students to the ecological and physiolocial concepts relevant to land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiological concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiolocial concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration has depended on scientific predictions vs. trial and error to develop cultural practices. The other half of the course provides students with and in-depth view of the restoration of specific kinds of ecological communities. For each ecommunity, students are provided with information on the history of restoratoin, the impetus for restorations (cultural, political), and the range of restoratoin practices and desired outcomes, and major limitations to success. Field visits are scheduled for the first half of the course.

Class Description:
Plant propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You may have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that, in the Fall semester, the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling, I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily online through the use of text, audio, and video hosted on Moodle that you will work through interactively. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a digital camera capable of taking clearly focused close-ups (most times a simple point-and-shoot camera or cell phone can suffice), and the ability to upload those pictures to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing to remember about the hybrid class format is that it requires the self-discipline and motivation to set aside time each week to work through the online content just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. By doing so, you will find that the ability to revisit material at your convenience affords you the opportunity to explore concepts more thoroughly and gain a deeper understanding of the material in a timeframe comparable to conventional lectures. Labs are taught in a face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a state-of-the-art greenhouse facility. And, yes?you get to keep the plants you propagate. The Wednesday night sessions, which are scheduled from 5:10-6:30pm, are face-to-face and are held on the St. Paul campus. During that time we'll have the chance to introduce and explore the topics addressed in that week's online content as well as discuss questions students might have about the previous week's material in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. You should keep in mind when planning your class schedule that the Wednesday night sessions are also when the class exams will be scheduled.

Class Description:
Plant propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You may have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that, in the Fall semester, the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling, I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily online through the use of text, audio, and video hosted on Moodle that you will work through interactively. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a digital camera capable of taking clearly focused close-ups (most times a simple point-and-shoot camera or cell phone can suffice), and the ability to upload those pictures to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing to remember about the hybrid class format is that it requires the self-discipline and motivation to set aside time each week to work through the online content just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. By doing so, you will find that the ability to revisit material at your convenience affords you the opportunity to explore concepts more thoroughly and gain a deeper understanding of the material in a timeframe comparable to conventional lectures. Labs are taught in a face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a state-of-the-art greenhouse facility. And, yes?you get to keep the plants you propagate. The Wednesday night sessions, which are scheduled from 5:10-6:30pm, are face-to-face and are held on the St. Paul campus. During that time we'll have the chance to introduce and explore the topics addressed in that week's online content as well as discuss questions students might have about the previous week's material in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. You should keep in mind when planning your class schedule that the Wednesday night sessions are also when the class exams will be scheduled.

Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

A Directed Study should culminate in a report (typically written, but could be delivered using alternate methods such as web page, etc.) that communicates results of the Directed Study to the advisor. Credit will not be granted for Directed Study when a project is not completed. Students should complete the following steps: 1. Identify a faculty member that is willing to serve as an advisor for the directed study. 2. Select a project and with the faculty advisor to determine how many credits the experience should be taken for (no more then 3) based on University policy. 3. In consultation with the faculty advisor, prepare a written description of the proposed directed study including anticipated duration, and method of communicating the results. 4. Submit the description, signed by both the student and the faculty advisor, to the student support staff person assigned to the departmental curriculum committee (currently Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu). A permission number will then be provided to the student. 5. Complete the Directed Study during the semester of registration unless arrangements have been made in writing that the project will extend beyond one semester. 6. Submit a final report on the Directed Study to the faculty advisor.

Tracing our relationship with edible landscapes traces to our hunting-gathering origins. Technological/social changes that have distanced us from our food. Integrating food plants into pleasing, sustainable, and edible landscapes in yards, neighborhoods, and cities.
Class Description:
An edible landscape is simply a space, established and managed by humans, that supports edible plants. Contemporary edible landscapes in North America are found on scales ranging from the regional (monoculture commodity production) to local (orchards, market gardens), to neighborhood (community gardens) to residential (backyard and indoor gardens). Our close relationship with edible landscapes traces to the point in our hunting-gathering origins when we began imagining the transition to settled agriculture. Ancient garden designs that followed supported food production but also celebrated culturally important mythologies. Now, as a response to technological and social change we in North America have mostly delegated management of edible landscape spaces to a small minority of the population and distanced ourselves from our food sources. This course is a small step toward understanding, reclaiming and expanding edible landscape spaces. With imagination and environmental respect we can integrate food plants into pleasing, sustainable and edible landscapes in our yards, neighborhoods and even the region of the country in which we live. Edible landscapes are complex systems with many functions, including food of course, but also aesthetics, recreation and environmental remediation. Edible landscapes have morphed throughout history, and even today differ from culture to culture. These differences over time and across cultures can be related to changes in technologies, but also to contemporary human needs and expectations, political influences, war, environmental and economic constraints. In this course, students will explore edible landscapes through history, and the confluence of contemporary North American cultural norms, economic uncertainty and emerging technologies that have resulted in an upsurge in local foods, organic production, a rekindled interest in home cooking, residential gardens and community supported agriculture. Students will be challenged to creatively integrate these different landscape demands into recommendations of plants, production methods and designs appropriate for specific sites. Students will apply science as a way of knowing, which provides them with a powerful tool for lifelong problem-solving and decision-making about food sources, and also about the impact of personal choices regarding residential landscapes on neighborhoods, watersheds, and, collectively, on regional phenomena such as pollution remediation and addressing global warming.

Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course. A Directed Study should culminate in a report (typically written, but could be delivered using alternate methods such as web page, etc.) that communicates results of the Directed Study to the advisor. Credit will not be granted for Directed Study when a project is not completed. Students should complete the following steps: 1. Identify a faculty member that is willing to serve as an advisor for the directed study. 2. Select a project and with the faculty advisor to determine how many credits the experience should be taken for (no more then 3) based on University policy. 3. In consultation with the faculty advisor, prepare a written description of the proposed directed study including anticipated duration, and method of communicating the results. 4. Submit the description, signed by both the student and the faculty advisor, to the student support staff person assigned to the departmental curriculum committee (currently Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu). A permission number will then be provided to the student. 5. Complete the Directed Study during the semester of registration unless arrangements have been made in writing that the project will extend beyond one semester. 6. Submit a final report on the Directed Study to the faculty advisor.

Students plan/implement cropping/marketing strategies for organic produce/flowers from Student Organic Farm on St. Paul campus.
Class Description:
As a result of successfully completing this course you will understand the principles that underlie the USDA National Organic Program and be able to interpret USDA organic certification guidelines for plant production. You will be able to apply these guidelines to effectively transition a conventional farm to a certified organic farm and to maintain its organic certification. In addition you will become familiar with different plant production approaches and practices in organic produce production. Beyond the course content, you will also acquire skills in collaborative learning techniques based on consensus building methods. Since this is a laboratory course, about half of your grade will be determined from laboratory experiences. Lab is intended to simulate the experiences of working on an organic farm while integrating educational research and experiments. Lab attendance, just like lecture attendance, is mandatory. Plant growth is not totally predictable, and active exploration, along with observation, is an integral part of the course. Your laboratory grade will depend on you attending lab, performing experiments, growing plants and making conclusions based on your results. Your grade for the course will be based on a midterm exam, a final exam, weekly written reactions to assigned reading, an organic system planning project and approximately six laboratory reports.

Class Description:
This 3-credit class will meet weekly during Spring Semester 2014 and travel to Britain during Spring Break, March 14-23, 2014. There are no prerequisites for the class and it is open to all U of M students. The overall goals and objectives of this class are: 1. For students learn first-hand what the challenges are in creating and maintaining school gardens. 2. To connect U of M students to community garden projects for the semester, and hopefully long term as well. 3. To examine British methods of successful school gardens, especially their methods of engaging college students in school and community garden projects. 4. For students to have a successful international educational experience. During the semester, students will visit and learn from developing (new) and existing school garden programs in the Twin Cities. We will be examining the already defined critical elements of successful school gardens. Gardens as well as open green space such as a nature preserves, or a pollinator project, aquaculture and indoor gardening are all possible venues for students to engage with partner schools or community partners. Students will determine the needs, wants, constraints and issues for partner organizations or schools as they establish or advance their school garden projects. During Spring Break, students will visit gardens in the greater London area and learn from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) about successful school projects in Britain. By the end of the semester, students will have developed a working list of critical components of successful school gardens and partnered with a school or community garden project in the Twin Cities to examine these issues first-hand, and be able to compare and contrast London and Twin Cities school gardens.

Importance of pollinators in agricultural/other natural landscapes. Risks to pollinators. Ways risks can be reduced, minimized, or overcome. Ways public policy has impacted pollinators/how future policy decisions will affect pollinator protection efforts.
Class Notes:
TBA = There will be a required field trip on a Saturday in late April or early May.
Class Description:
Bee pollinators (honey bees, Apis mellifera, and over 4000 species of native bees) are in trouble. Bee health is failing across Minnesota and the nation due to a scarcity of bee-friendly flowers leading to nutritional deficiencies, chronic exposure to pesticides, and debilitating diseases and parasites. Bees play a key role in American agriculture through pollination; the U.S. grows more than one hundred crops that either need or benefit from pollinators with an economic value estimated at $20 billion in 2000. The Upper Midwest, including MN, ND and SD are the top honey producing states in the nation. Commercial beekeepers transport their colonies to these states for the summer months for honey production after fulfilling pollination contracts in other parts of the nation. People are taking action to rectify the decline of honey bees and native pollinators by becoming beekeepers, reducing pesticide exposure to bees, and planting flowers to support the nutritional needs of all bees. In addition, a number of non-bee pollinators play important roles in managed landscapes. The course will cover pollinator protection in managed landscapes such as gardens, lawns, roadsides, small farms, organic farms, conventional farms, golf courses, urban parks, rural parklands, prairies etc. The course will begin by introducing you to pollinators and the importance of pollinators in agricultural and other managed and natural landscapes. Next you will examine the risks to pollinators and ways that those risks can be reduced, minimized, or overcome. Finally, you will learn about the ways that public policy has impacted pollinators and how future policy decisions will affect pollinator protection efforts.

Class Notes:
Lecture content for this course will be delivered on-line and attendance in this lecture is recommended. See course guide for more information on this hybrid format. Students must have regular access to high speed internet and a basic digital camera.
Class Description:
Plant propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You may have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that, in the Fall semester, the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling, I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily online through the use of text, audio, and video hosted on Moodle that you will work through interactively. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a digital camera capable of taking clearly focused close-ups (most times a simple point-and-shoot camera or cell phone can suffice), and the ability to upload those pictures to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing to remember about the hybrid class format is that it requires the self-discipline and motivation to set aside time each week to work through the online content just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. By doing so, you will find that the ability to revisit material at your convenience affords you the opportunity to explore concepts more thoroughly and gain a deeper understanding of the material in a timeframe comparable to conventional lectures. Labs are taught in a face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a state-of-the-art greenhouse facility. And, yes?you get to keep the plants you propagate. The Wednesday night sessions, which are scheduled from 5:10-6:30pm, are face-to-face and are held on the St. Paul campus. During that time we'll have the chance to introduce and explore the topics addressed in that week's online content as well as discuss questions students might have about the previous week's material in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. You should keep in mind when planning your class schedule that the Wednesday night sessions are also when the class exams will be scheduled.

Principles and techniques of propagating plants by seeds, cuttings, grafts, buds, layers, and division. Lectures on principles; labs on practice of various propagating techniques.
Class Description:
Plant propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You may have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that, in the Fall semester, the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling, I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily online through the use of text, audio, and video hosted on Moodle that you will work through interactively. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a digital camera capable of taking clearly focused close-ups (most times a simple point-and-shoot camera or cell phone can suffice), and the ability to upload those pictures to Moodle forums.

Class Description:
Floral design is a course to educate students in the creation of professional floral designs to enhance the human experience in a variety of occasions. Floral design is a prime example of a horticulture discipline which encompasses a wide range of subjects across the educational spectrum, such as physics, mechanical engineering, art, history, horticulture, landscape architecture, architecture, liberal arts, music, business, human ecology, food science, biology, botany, ecology, medicine, and mortuary science. Flowers have historically been used to express emotions; we will examine the historic uses of flowers in various civilizations for celebrating human life and death, as well as how these uses influence our current floral design spectrum. Additional features of flowers, such as fragrance, will demonstrate the sensory value of their use. Students from a diverse array of majors, professional interests, and rank across the university (undergraduate, continuing education, MAST, Master of Agriculture, graduate, Regent's Scholars) enroll in Floral Design each year. Environmental Horticulture undergraduate students may enroll in this class to fulfill a Hort elective. The class is designed to allow your creative and artistic talents blossom as you learn to about the artistic use of flowers. It may be a welcome stress-reliever in your busy schedules. You will take floral arrangements home almost every week. Additionally, depending on your professional background, this course will aid in enhancing your career in any field.

Class Description:
This is a fully online section offered through Online and Distance Learning (ODL), College of Continuing Education. Visit "Class URL" for ODL policies, including fee and financial aid information. Millions of acres across the United States are devoted to turfgrass. Home lawns, parks, athletic fields, golf course, and other turf areas play an important role in environmental quality. Homeowners have little knowledge about fertilizer and pesticide use, irrigation, and mowing. Although the impact of an individual homeowner may be small, the effect of millions of acres of home lawns can be significant. This course will focus on sustainable turfgrass management for the home lawn. The content will be presented in a fashion that focuses on environmentally responsible turfgrass management. The course will begin by presenting an overview of basic horticultural principles and then focus on turfgrass-specific topics. Lectures will provide information necessary for laboratory and discussion portions of the course. Students will learn how to identify common turfgrasses and then how to properly manage a home lawn in a sustainable way. The course will be presented entirely online and make extensive use of online discussion forums, wikis, blogs, and interactive Flash modules. Students will discuss important turfgrass science topics such as fertilizer run-off, pesticide use, and genetically-modified turf. This course will also equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain quality turf areas with reduced inputs, thereby reducing potential risk to the environment.

Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

A Directed Study should culminate in a report (typically written, but could be delivered using alternate methods such as web page, etc.) that communicates results of the Directed Study to the advisor. Credit will not be granted for Directed Study when a project is not completed. Students should complete the following steps: 1. Identify a faculty member that is willing to serve as an advisor for the directed study. 2. Select a project and with the faculty advisor to determine how many credits the experience should be taken for (no more then 3) based on University policy. 3. In consultation with the faculty advisor, prepare a written description of the proposed directed study including anticipated duration, and method of communicating the results. 4. Submit the description, signed by both the student and the faculty advisor, to the student support staff person assigned to the departmental curriculum committee (currently Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu). A permission number will then be provided to the student. 5. Complete the Directed Study during the semester of registration unless arrangements have been made in writing that the project will extend beyond one semester. 6. Submit a final report on the Directed Study to the faculty advisor.

Class Notes:
Contact Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu) for a permission number to enroll. Lecture content for this course will be delivered on-line and attendance in this lecture is recommended. See course guide for more information on this hybrid format. Students must have regular access to high speed internet and a basic digital camera.
Class Description:
Plant propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You may have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that, in the Fall semester, the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling, I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily online through the use of text, audio, and video hosted on Moodle that you will work through interactively. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts. You must also have weekly access to a digital camera capable of taking clearly focused close-ups (most times a simple point-and-shoot camera or cell phone can suffice), and the ability to upload those pictures to Moodle forums. You will use the camera for your weekly homework. The most important thing to remember about the hybrid class format is that it requires the self-discipline and motivation to set aside time each week to work through the online content just as if you were going to a conventional lecture. By doing so, you will find that the ability to revisit material at your convenience affords you the opportunity to explore concepts more thoroughly and gain a deeper understanding of the material in a timeframe comparable to conventional lectures. Labs are taught in a face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a state-of-the-art greenhouse facility. And, yes?you get to keep the plants you propagate. The Wednesday night sessions, which are scheduled from 5:10-6:30pm, are face-to-face and are held on the St. Paul campus. During that time we'll have the chance to introduce and explore the topics addressed in that week's online content as well as discuss questions students might have about the previous week's material in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. You should keep in mind when planning your class schedule that the Wednesday night sessions are also when the class exams will be scheduled.

By doing so, you will find that the ability to revisit material at your convenience affords you the opportunity to explore concepts more thoroughly and gain a deeper understanding of the material in a timeframe comparable to conventional lectures. Labs are taught in a face-to-face format on the St. Paul campus in a state-of-the-art greenhouse facility. And, yes?you get to keep the plants you propagate. The Wednesday night sessions, which are scheduled from 5:10-6:30pm, are face-to-face and are held on the St. Paul campus. During that time we'll have the chance to introduce and explore the topics addressed in that week's online content as well as discuss questions students might have about the previous week's material in a supportive and collaborative learning environment. You should keep in mind when planning your class schedule that the Wednesday night sessions are also when the class exams will be scheduled.

Class Description:
Plant propagation immerses you in learning the fundamental biological concepts of plant structure, growth, and reproduction, and challenges you to apply these concepts in the greenhouse to hands-on plant propagation. You may have heard from others that Plant Prop is a challenging course with a great lab and that you get to take home the plants that you propagate. What you may not have heard is that, in the Fall semester, the course is taught with an alternative hybrid format. Before enrolling, I would like you to think about whether this format is a good fit for you and the way you learn. The lecture content for this course will be delivered primarily online through the use of text, audio, and video hosted on Moodle that you will work through interactively. You must have reliable internet access several times each week to access lecture materials and the capacity to listen to downloaded mp3 audio lecture companion podcasts.

Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course.

A Directed Study should culminate in a report (typically written, but could be delivered using alternate methods such as web page, etc.) that communicates results of the Directed Study to the advisor. Credit will not be granted for Directed Study when a project is not completed. Students should complete the following steps: 1. Identify a faculty member that is willing to serve as an advisor for the directed study. 2. Select a project and with the faculty advisor to determine how many credits the experience should be taken for (no more then 3) based on University policy. 3. In consultation with the faculty advisor, prepare a written description of the proposed directed study including anticipated duration, and method of communicating the results. 4. Submit the description, signed by both the student and the faculty advisor, to the student support staff person assigned to the departmental curriculum committee (currently Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu). A permission number will then be provided to the student. 5. Complete the Directed Study during the semester of registration unless arrangements have been made in writing that the project will extend beyond one semester. 6. Submit a final report on the Directed Study to the faculty advisor.

Tracing our relationship with edible landscapes traces to our hunting-gathering origins. Technological/social changes that have distanced us from our food. Integrating food plants into pleasing, sustainable, and edible landscapes in yards, neighborhoods, and cities.
Class Description:
An edible landscape is simply a space, established and managed by humans, that supports edible plants. Contemporary edible landscapes in North America are found on scales ranging from the regional (monoculture commodity production) to local (orchards, market gardens), to neighborhood (community gardens) to residential (backyard and indoor gardens). Our close relationship with edible landscapes traces to the point in our hunting-gathering origins when we began imagining the transition to settled agriculture. Ancient garden designs that followed supported food production but also celebrated culturally important mythologies. Now, as a response to technological and social change we in North America have mostly delegated management of edible landscape spaces to a small minority of the population and distanced ourselves from our food sources. This course is a small step toward understanding, reclaiming and expanding edible landscape spaces. With imagination and environmental respect we can integrate food plants into pleasing, sustainable and edible landscapes in our yards, neighborhoods and even the region of the country in which we live. Edible landscapes are complex systems with many functions, including food of course, but also aesthetics, recreation and environmental remediation. Edible landscapes have morphed throughout history, and even today differ from culture to culture. These differences over time and across cultures can be related to changes in technologies, but also to contemporary human needs and expectations, political influences, war, environmental and economic constraints. In this course, students will explore edible landscapes through history, and the confluence of contemporary North American cultural norms, economic uncertainty and emerging technologies that have resulted in an upsurge in local foods, organic production, a rekindled interest in home cooking, residential gardens and community supported agriculture. Students will be challenged to creatively integrate these different landscape demands into recommendations of plants, production methods and designs appropriate for specific sites. Students will apply science as a way of knowing, which provides them with a powerful tool for lifelong problem-solving and decision-making about food sources, and also about the impact of personal choices regarding residential landscapes on neighborhoods, watersheds, and, collectively, on regional phenomena such as pollution remediation and addressing global warming.

Class Description:
As a result of successfully completing this course you will understand the principles that underlie the USDA National Organic Program and be able to interpret USDA organic certification guidelines for plant production. You will be able to apply these guidelines to effectively transition a conventional farm to a certified organic farm and to maintain its organic certification. In addition you will become familiar with different plant production approaches and practices in organic produce production. Beyond the course content, you will also acquire skills in collaborative learning techniques based on consensus building methods. Since this is a laboratory course, about half of your grade will be determined from laboratory experiences. Lab is intended to simulate the experiences of working on an organic farm while integrating educational research and experiments. Lab attendance, just like lecture attendance, is mandatory. Plant growth is not totally predictable, and active exploration, along with observation, is an integral part of the course. Your laboratory grade will depend on you attending lab, performing experiments, growing plants and making conclusions based on your results. Your grade for the course will be based on a midterm exam, a final exam, weekly written reactions to assigned reading, an organic system planning project and approximately six laboratory reports.

Class Description:
This 3-credit class will meet weekly during Spring Semester 2013 and travel to Britain during Spring Break, March 15-24, 2013. There are no prerequisites for the class and it is open to all U of M students. The overall goals and objectives of this class are: 1. For students learn first-hand what the challenges are in creating and maintaining school gardens. 2. To connect U of M students to community garden projects for the semester, and hopefully long term as well. 3. To examine British methods of successful school gardens, especially their methods of engaging college students in school and community garden projects. 4. For students to have a successful international educational experience. During the semester, students will visit and learn from developing (new) and existing school garden programs in the Twin Cities. We will be examining the already defined critical elements of successful school gardens. Gardens as well as open green space such as a nature preserves, or a pollinator project, aquaculture and indoor gardening are all possible venues for students to engage with partner schools or community partners. Students will determine the needs, wants, constraints and issues for partner organizations or schools as they establish or advance their school garden projects. During Spring Break, students will visit gardens in the greater London area and learn from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) about successful school projects in Britain. By the end of the semester, students will have developed a working list of critical components of successful school gardens and partnered with a school or community garden project in the Twin Cities to examine these issues first-hand, and be able to compare and contrast London and Twin Cities school gardens.

Class Description:
Geophytes are early harbingers of spring. In this course we will examine the variety of herbaceous perennial spring-flowering crops with underground storage organs (geophytes). As spring progresses, different genera and species predominate in the flowering landscape. In contrast, greenhouse production of potted plant and cut flower geophytic crops can be simultaneous rather than sequential. This course will consist of hands-on taxonomic identification of geophyte crops, their uses in landscape design, and production essentials. The laboratory will be hands-on, experiential learning with many visits of outdoor landscape, gardens, production greenhouses, and interiorscapes.

Class Notes:
Students will be expected to attend the two day Upper Midwest Regional Fruit & Vegetable Growers Conference usually held at the St. Cloud Civic Center during the 1st or 2nd week of February. Students will be expected to attend two Saturday field trips from 8am-5pm - Dates TBA
Class Description:
Sustainable commercial vegetable production systems meets one evening weekday, and two Saturdays 8:00am to 5:00pm for arranged field trips. Additionally, a 2-day professional conference on fruit and vegetables is part of the curriculum. This course is designed to familiarize you with the systems of commercial vegetable production, and improvements upon these components through research. Instruction will be concentrated on systems that represent pillars of commercial vegetable production, whereby principles of their use cross the boundaries of individual cropping systems. The systems involved are neither static nor independent, rather, quite dynamic in their relationships. Thus, students should consider this as they progress through the various areas of study. Systems include: site selection, land preparation and environmental interaction, specialized equipment, seed selection to preparation and stand establishment, cultural management practices during crop growth and development, water management, control of insects, diseases, and weeds, post harvest handling, and marketing and commodity use. The instructor will incorporate case study examples to almost every topical area covered and have guest lecturers. These activities should better prepare students for out-of-class work situations and add diversity to the learning experience.

Course Catalog Description:
In-depth exploration of concepts, technology, materials, or programs in specific area to expand professional competency/self-confidence. Planning, organizing, implementing, and evaluating knowledge obtained from formal education and from experience.
Class Description:
A Directed Study is defined by the University of Minnesota as `a course in which a student designs and carries out an independent project under the direction of a faculty member.? The Department of Horticultural Science offers Directed Study at three levels (HORT 1090; HORT 3090; HORT 5090). HORT 1090 should only be taken by students that are not currently enrolled in a University of Minnesota undergraduate or graduate program (for instance, high school students taking college credit for research projects should enroll at this level). HORT 3090 should be taken by undergraduates enrolled in Horticulture or other related majors. HORT 5090 should be taken by professional students, graduate students, or advanced undergraduates. A student may only take a total of 6 credits of Directed Study with a HORT designator. A single Directed Study may be for no more than 3 credits. For Horticulture majors, no more than 4 credits of Directed Study may be used for a Program of Study without pre-approval from their advisor and the major coordinator. Students pursuing a minor in Horticulture can use no more than 3 credits of Directed Study to count towards their minor without pre-approval from the minor coordinator. A directed study should carry the number of credits deemed necessary by the University of Minnesota academic workload policy (3 hours of work per week per credit for undergraduate students and more than that for graduate students). For example, a 1-credit Directed Study would entail 3 hours/week x 15 weeks in the semester for a total of 45 hours of work connected with the course. A Directed Study should culminate in a report (typically written, but could be delivered using alternate methods such as web page, etc.) that communicates results of the Directed Study to the advisor. Credit will not be granted for Directed Study when a project is not completed. Students should complete the following steps: 1. Identify a faculty member that is willing to serve as an advisor for the directed study. 2. Select a project and with the faculty advisor to determine how many credits the experience should be taken for (no more then 3) based on University policy. 3. In consultation with the faculty advisor, prepare a written description of the proposed directed study including anticipated duration, and method of communicating the results. 4. Submit the description, signed by both the student and the faculty advisor, to the student support staff person assigned to the departmental curriculum committee (currently Evonne Kuyper (kuype001@umn.edu). A permission number will then be provided to the student. 5. Complete the Directed Study during the semester of registration unless arrangements have been made in writing that the project will extend beyond one semester. 6. Submit a final report on the Directed Study to the faculty advisor.

Students plan/implement cropping/marketing strategies for organic produce/flowers from Student Organic Farm on St. Paul campus.
Class Description:
As a result of successfully completing this course you will understand the principles that underlie the USDA National Organic Program and be able to interpret USDA organic certification guidelines for plant production. You will be able to apply these guidelines to effectively transition a conventional farm to a certified organic farm and to maintain its organic certification. In addition you will become familiar with different plant production approaches and practices in organic produce production. Beyond the course content, you will also acquire skills in collaborative learning techniques based on consensus building methods. Since this is a laboratory course, about half of your grade will be determined from laboratory experiences. Lab is intended to simulate the experiences of working on an organic farm while integrating educational research and experiments. Lab attendance, just like lecture attendance, is mandatory. Plant growth is not totally predictable, and active exploration, along with observation, is an integral part of the course. Your laboratory grade will depend on you attending lab, performing experiments, growing plants and making conclusions based on your results. Laboratory time will also be used for discussion of assigned readings from refereed journals in scientific publications. Your grade for the course will be based on a midterm exam, a final exam, weekly written reactions to assigned reading, an organic system planning project and approximately six laboratory reports.
