Orchard Lecture


Orin brought the orchard into the class room today. In order to teach pruning, he needed sufficient props, and it necessitated cutting down whole saplings to bring to class. He came in, draped in apple branches, fruit still hanging- fully committed to giving us a visceral learning experience. I appreciated the integration of learning styles- tactile, auditory, visual, sensual. Teaching us how to fall in love with gardening.

Jessy! Good to see that you're sharing your farm adventures with us? May I have your contact info (e-mail and/or phone)? I have a question for you. I recently tried corresponding to your UCD address (?) Anyhow, looking forward to connect with you -

Yo Beckett,
Thinking of you the past couple days. Let's connect sometime so I can hear your farm tales...
We may be meeting at the gatehouse next Tuesday (8/11) 6:30 till 8:30. If I wanted to find you afterwards, where would I look?
