FS 193 - Digging Down to the Roots: The Meaning of Gardens

Gardens serve as cultural, environmental, historical, and aesthetic symbols across the world and reflect three seminal questions: why garden, what is a garden, and who gardens? These questions will be explored through readings, visits to gardens, and gardening experiences in the Teaching Gardens of Saint Michael’s College. Readings will include nonfiction, fiction, essays, memoir, and relevant children’s literature. Expect to get dirty.
