Lesson 1: Introduction
Humans (and our gardens) are a part of nature whether we think of it or not. Agricultural chemicals only became widely available in the 20th century, but people fed themselves for thousands of years before that.
This lesson reintroduces the idea that gardens, nature, humans, and our health are all connected.

Gardening with Nature
Gardening with Nature is all about inviting life back into the garden. In addition to helping you grow food without pesticides, reconnecting with Nature has been shown to reduce stress, increase well being, and even improve test scores.
Much of what we have learned about gardening with Nature comes from ten years of observation in the garden. This course is a brief introduction to those lessons along with books and other resources to help you bring nature back into your garden.
This course was made possible with support from the City of Montgomery and the Community Adaptation Program of the American Red Cross.
