Certificate in Native Plants
Have you ever wondered "What is that plant?" Or have you yearned to know more about native plants or to participate in plant conservation activities but felt you "just didn't know enough"? Have you considered a career in plant biology, ecology, or conservation horticulture? The Cerficate in Native Plants program will provide you with the basic knowledge and skills that dedicated amateurs and professionals need to know about native plants and their conservation.

The Certificate in Native Plants offers committed individuals a comprehensive series of short courses in identification, cultivation, propagation, ecology and conservation of native Georgia plants. With an emphasis on participatory learning, the short courses are designed to provide a supportive and challenging learning atmosphere.
