To teach environmental literacy to cherish, protect, and conserve the living earth.
"The Living Earth" Environmental School curriculum was created by National Garden Clubs, Inc. to bring together garden club members from across the country who are seeking to become better stewards of our natural environment. It provides an in-depth understanding of the elements necessary for our survival and the challenges facing their sustainability including environmental science, water conservation, air pollution, land conservation, and endangered species by explaining their value.
The LGCF Environmental School is typically offered in back-to-back, two-day courses offered over a consecutive four day period. For example, Course I is offered during the first two days, and Course II is offered during the following two days. Then, Courses III and IV are offered during another four-day period in about six to eight months. The entire school can usually be completed well within a one-year program. The National Garden Club encourages the completion of all four courses within a two year period.
At the end of each course, there will be an open-book multiple choice exam given. After completion of two courses, the student will have attained the status of Environmental Consultant Provisional. This qualifies the student to join an Environmental Consultants Council while completing all four courses to achieve the full designation of Nationally Accredited Environmental Consultant.
The National Garden Club's accredited program does not require one to complete the courses in order.
