In this class, we’ll take a slight detour to check in and see how everyone is doing. Over the past five sessions, I’ve shared a variety of readings, but we haven’t had much time to discuss them together. We’ll begin class with a short check-in and decide how we’d like to approach reading discussions—either during the next class or in small reading groups.
We’ll also tour the perennial garden to learn how the plants grow, and we’ll leave time at the end of class to continue working on the garden plots.
Looking forward to seeing you all!
