Hi everyone, welcome to the sixth urban agriculture certificate course from CultivAction Solidarity Cooperative. Erik Chevrier, Ph.D. and Mohammed Al-Duais will be your instructors for the course.
Where to Meet
We will meet at the farm at Loyola Campus.
The Loyola Farm is located at the back of Concordia University, Loyola Campus – TB building. 7079 Rue de Terrebonne, Montreal, Quebec H4B 1E1.
Class 6: Midterm Check-In & Exploring Perennial and Annual Plant Systems
This session marks the halfway point of our course and offers a chance to reflect together on how things are going. We’ll begin with a group check-in and discussion about the course so far, followed by two rotating activities: a group presentation on perennial and annual plants, and a hands-on garden session with Mohammed.
We’ll use this time to deepen our understanding of plant ecologies, share feedback, and connect theory to practice through guided observation and seasonal garden work.
