Community Education   

We will complete three projects. No experience necessary. Palette included in class fee. 

For ages 18+. No Quest membership required.

This class is for learners who can participate independently—processing verbal and visual instruction, using course materials on their own, and engaging positively in a group setting. If you have specific access needs, please contact Disability Support Services before registering so we can explore accommodations and ensure a positive experience for all. 

Materials: For the first class, only bring pencils and a folder or 3-ring binder for notes. A materials list will be handed out and discussed on the first night of class to ensure you purchase proper materials. (Approved good quality paper is a must to ensure success - Do not bring cheap paper.) You will need your own approved watercolor paper and paint selection. Brushes are the biggest investment, and you may borrow the necessary brushes from the instructor each week.   

Come explore the fruits and roots of fall through four unique lenses! Each week, we will examine 2-3 amazing plants through the perspectives of a botanist, a gardener, an herbalist, and a chef. Together, we'll learn how to identify each plant, how to grow them successfully in gardens of any size, and how to explore their culinary and medicinal properties. We will grow our knowledge not just through lectures, fun stories, and tips for integrating them into daily life - we'll also get to touch, smell, and even taste each ingredient. Unique recipes will also be provided so that students can deepen their personal connection to the material at home.

All materials provided.

Whether starting a new garden or renovating an existing one, we all have areas in our yards that we would like to improve. But when it comes to streamlining garden maintenance and minimizing water use, we may be unsure of how to begin the process. In this class, we’ll take simple, practical step-by-step approaches to assessing, considering, and planning how best to design how each plot will function according to both existing site factors and your own needs. You’ll create healthy, uplifting spaces that contribute positively to your life.

For ages 18+. No Quest membership required.

Weather permitting, this class will include some time outside on campus and involve walking on unpaved terrain. However, this class does not include carpooling to a secondary location. If you are asked during registration to sign a field trip liability waiver, please do so in order to complete the process, but also be aware that no field trip is included in this class. Alternatively, if you would prefer not to sign, please register over the phone by calling 509-527-4331.

Fall is a busier time in the garden than one might expect – it's the best time for many productive activities that help keep gardens beautiful and easy to maintain in the next year. The cool weather and the still-warm soil make Fall the perfect time to plant, and in some cases, it’s also the best time for pruning. Fall is also a great time to mulch in preparation for spring. In this class, we’ll go through each of these activities step-by-step – demonstrating how each process not just makes your garden easier to care for, but helps it thrive.

The latter half of the class will be held outdoors in a nearby garden and will involve walking on unpaved terrain. Sturdy, closed-toe shoes, clothing appropriate for the weather, and water are recommended.

For ages 18+. No Quest membership required.
