Become an Instructor

Note: As Colorado State University Extension transitions the program, training options are paused for further development.

This training is ideal for botanic garden and horticulture educators, master gardeners, master naturalists, garden clubs, landscape architects/designers and those interested in teaching climate resilient and sustainable gardening practices.

Things to Know

• The Landscape for Life curriculum is intended to be taught as a holistic educational program.
• The five classes should be taught successively, as each class and homework assignment builds on previous material, resulting in a clear and integrated understanding of sustainable gardening principles and techniques.
• Please note, all participants should possess sufficient gardening/horticulture/landscape design knowledge and experience, specifically in your EPA Level III Ecoregion, to teach the classes.
• Prior teaching experience is recommended.
• Participants are expected to teach the Landscape for Life classes within one year of completing the training.
