Randolph Community College-Archdale Plans Landscaping, Gardening Courses

Winter is a good time to be planning and preparing for the spring planting season, according to landscaping experts. Randolph Community College’s Archdale Center has scheduled courses in landscaping and vegetable gardening beginning in February.

Residential and Commercial Landscaping is a practical course that covers the basic principles of landscape design for the homeowner or the entrepreneur looking to start at business. Activities will include drawing plans; calculating area, volume, and plant quantities needed for landscape projects; and estimating cost. The course will meet from 6-9 p.m. on Thursdays, Feb. 7 through March 28. Registration fee is $65.
          
The second course, Vegetable Gardening, will focus on healthier food that students can grow in their own backyards. Done properly, vegetable gardening is a serious money saver that can significantly reduce food budgets. This class will meet from 6-9 p.m. on Tuesdays, Feb. 19 through March 19. The registration fee is $48.
