Plant Studio courses are hosted on our online learning management, Canvas. Content is delivered weekly through pre-recorded videos with the Garden’s plant professionals, showcasing both the expertise and the beauty of the New York Botanical Garden. Each course includes weekly lectures, readings, assignments, and a final project on which students receive individualized feedback. Students have the opportunity to connect with course facilitators and each other through online discussion boards. Students who complete course requirements will receive a digital credential from NYBG that can be shared on social media. Too busy to do the assignments? That’s ok too. All courses include a 30-day read-only period after the course concludes to rewatch course videos and review the discussion boards, so that you can learn at your own pace, on your own time, anywhere in the world, in the style that works best for you." } },{ "@type": "Question", "name": "How long are Plant Studio courses?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Plant Studio courses vary by length, ranging from two to six weeks, depending on the course content.

Course content can be accessed anywhere, anytime, as long as you have an internet connection. Course content is modular, with new content released each week of the course run. You’ll have one week to complete any requirements, if you’re seeking to earn a digital credential. Those who are not seeking to earn a credential do not need to complete assignments. By releasing content weekly, Plant Studio helps you pace themselves and manage their time to be successful.

Each course opens one week prior to the course start date to help you to become familiar with Canvas as well as access the course syllabus, post on the Introduce Yourself board to meet your learning community, and review any plant materials that might be needed for purchase to complete the assignments successfully. Course content is released weekly, on Wednesdays." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I register for a Plant Studio course after the start date?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes! Because students have one week to complete each module, registration stays open throughout the first week of each course session.

This is particularly true for courses with hands-on assignments in gardening and floral design. Any materials that you’ll need are listed in the Welcome Module that opens one week prior to the course start date. These materials are typically not needed until Week 2, so you should have about two weeks to purchase the plant materials before the assignment is due." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "I don't have access to an outdoor garden, can I still take a Plant Studio course?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes! Plant Studio courses are optimized for flexibility, so even apartment gardeners can benefit from the instruction. For some courses, like Pruning Basics, you may need to be creative if you live in an apartment or dormitory, though there are potted plants that can benefit from pruning even in small spaces.

For some course sessions, these facilitators will be the same plant professionals who appear in the course’s pre-recorded video content. Other times, the facilitators will be different experts who will provide their own perspectives via the course discussion boards, announcements, and Zoom session (if applicable). In all cases, you’ll receive personalized feedback on your projects and opportunities to engage with a likeminded community of learners." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Will I be able to connect with my fellow students in a flexible format?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes! One of the most important aspects of any continuing education program is the opportunity to grow your network, whether you are a casual learner or looking to join a new profession. Our learning management system, Canvas, provides opportunities to connect with your fellow students on the course discussion boards. These electronic forums let students respond to each other’s posts and the prompt. You can also message your community as well as your course facilitator through the Canvas inbox.

Will I get a grade?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Plant Studio courses are primarily project based. Though some courses in our portfolio include optional “test your knowledge” quizzes, most assignments ask students to complete projects. Expect to create a floral arrangement in a floral design course, or to garden in a gardening course, as an opportunity to practice hands on what you are learning in the course videos. Each course has a final project, on which students will receive individualized feedback from the course facilitator. All assignments are assessed as complete/incomplete. You cannot fail a Plant Studio course. We want you to have fun and enjoy the experience." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "When will I receive my digital credential if I complete the course assignments successfully?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "You will receive an Accredible digital credential within 30 days of the final project submission due date." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Who do I contact if I have additional questions?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "For additional questions about course content, registration, or payment, email ContinuingEd@nybg.org.

The School’s strength is that it teaches students valuable horticulture skills, which give our graduates a competitive advantage over other programs based solely on coursework. The School’s program combines the theoretical and the practical, teaching not just how to grow plants, but why plants grow the way they do. It is due to this kind of education that our students are highly sought after, not just for internships, but also for full-time employment upon graduation." } },{ "@type": "Question", "name": "As someone who is switching careers, what is it like to work in the horticulture industry?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "It is a close-knit community of dedicated and passionate professionals who are willing to share their knowledge, experience, information, and employment opportunities. As a student, you meet many key people in this profession from around the world in diverse areas of horticulture, and as a graduate, you become part of that community. One of the biggest benefits of attending the School is making these lifelong contacts here at NYBG and beyond." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the typical demographic of students in the school?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Students come from all over the country and world.
