EARN A NEW RESTORATION HORTICULTURE DEGREE,
AT EDMONDS COMMUNITY COLLEGE THIS FALL
 
Edmonds Community College offers a unique, new two-year degree in Restoration Horticulture that will train students to help restore damaged land, habitat, and ecosystems in a range of rural, suburban, and urban environments.

The Restoration Horticulture program trains students to replant natural areas by designing, establishing, and stewarding native plant communities. It also teaches them to how to create green spaces in urban settings using green roofs and walls, and bioswales (drainage troughs that filter runoff water).
 
The new Restoration Horticulture degree is part of the college’s sustainability efforts (http://www.edcc.edu/sustain), which include the development of curriculum to teach environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable practices.
 
Fall classes at Edmonds Community College run Sept. 22-Dec. 11. 
For more information about the Restoration Horticulture degree, call 425.640.1739, email horticulture@edcc.edu or go to http://www.edcc.edu/hort.
