Now there's some help for winter garden blues The University of Guelph has discovered a cure for gardening enthusiasts who suffer from spring fever during the long winter. The Qualified Plantsman course can help you brush up your gardening skills in the warmth of your own home. "This course offers valuable information for the hobby gardener. garden center staff. and commercial horticulturists," says Wendy Elrick, of the University's independent study division. "It is a good all-round gardening course that covers a wide range of horticultural subjects from the ground up„ The course, sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, was prepared by seven ex- perienced horticulturists from the University of Guelph. By following the foursections of text material, three filmstrips, and taped cassette com- mentary, students can learn from the experts, at home. The landscaping section of the course covers such topics as selecting appropriate plant materials, and characteristics of various evergreens, deciduous trees and shrubs. There is also information about soil management, turf grasses and control measures needed to develop high quality lawns. For the flower enthusiast, there are sections about perennial borders , her- baceous gardens, soil preparation and planting procedures, as well as descriptions of many annual and perennial flowering plants. "This course material isn't limited to large 6utdoor gardens," says Miss Elrick. "There are sections devoted to balcony, patio and roof gardens. For indoor gar- deners, there is a section about selection and culture of plants." Costs of the course. which includes three filmstrips of about 60 calor slides, a small hand vie'ser, and taped cassette commentary, is $100 for Ontario residents and $130 for out -of -province residents. The course materials are retained by the student for future reference The Qualified Plantsman course is one of 50 home study courses available from Independent Study University School of Part - Time Studies and Continuing Education.
