When I began searching for information, of course I googled. When I put in "online gardening classes" I got www.gardeninginstitute.com and have found this to be quite useful. It offers some individualized classes on a pay-for-class schedule that could be useful. But that wasn't the one that caught my eye.
I also learned that Penn Foster offers some classes. I've received some information from them but I'm not sure they're the best for what I want.
When I found this one: http://www.scitraining.com/Courses_US/Gardening_Landscaping/Outline.htm I was very interested. I send away for some information and may decide on this program. They offer several modules for learning from the basics into landscaping.
I think that eventually I'd like to study landscape design and of course plan to do it very green!
If you'd like to get started on thinking "green", try this link: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/06/how-to-green-your-gardening.php
Until I decide on the choice for my new education, I'll be searching online for the perfect site. I'll keep you up to date on all the great stuff I find.
Until then,
Live green!

That link is pretty cool. Lots of interesting stuff. I've been composting, but I don't stir it enough, so it's not doing what it should. I keep thinking I need a better system, but I've resisted buying one of those big plastic barrels. I really believe composting is important though.
That's why they call compost the gardener's gold!!
Do you have a pitchfork or a potato fork? That's the best for turning..shovels just don't work well for me.
It's gonna give you plenty of great stuff for planting your garden next spring....save all your non-protein stuff for it!
