Please see information below about a 100-level horticulture course that I
will be teaching online this fall through Iowa State University. It is
an 8 week (Sep 3-Oct 29) 1 credit course delivered via Blackboard Learn.
Anyone can take the course, they do not
have to be a current Iowa State University student to take it. I have
also attached an article, due to come out on
greenroofs.com, with additional details.
Please include this information in any appropriate newsletters. Watch for it on Facebook, you can pin it on Pinterest
http://pinterest.com/pin/372391462908914974/, and more information is available online at
http://agonline.iastate.edu/courses/f2013hort-193fxw. Or, if you know of someone interested in learning about green roofs,
please feel free to forward this email. Questions can be sent to me at
jmbouss@iastate.edu or Lori Youngberg, Program Coordinator for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Online Learning, at
lyoung@iastate.edu. Thank you in advance for your help in spreading the word.
