Designing Bountiful Gardens is open to anyone who has completed the prerequisite classes of Sustainable Living 1 and 2. Knowledge of gardening is not needed as this is a series about design not gardening. This module is over 6 Sundays totaling 31 class hours. Four of the classes are 1pm-5:30 pm in zoom class meetings. Two classes are all day at Animal Farm 1.5-2 hours west of Houston by car. These in person classes will likely require masks and social distancing. The uncertainty of the virus and its spread make the existence of these in person classes problematic at this date. The class administrator is Meagan Terry, contact her by emailing education@urbanharvest.org. The class facilitator is Bob Randall, Ph.D.

Bountiful Gardens focuses on the design of family gardens in its context of being an element in the design of a home or farm property using permaculture principles. We survey the permaculture of vegetables, fruits, domestic animals and the factors we use to place these for maximum productivity and minimum labor. We learn some basic gardening skills along with how to design and build a garden. Water, soil, pest management, garden ecology, and climate are also featured.
