All of our instructors are experts in their fields and provide a friendly learning environment for thier students. Courses cover a wealth of topics and can either be taken as stand-alone classes or combined to earn a certificate of achievement.

We offer a variety of programs for formal and informal education groups, providing students with multi-disciplinary lessons that align with state standards, reach across the curriculum, and use botany and ecology to inspire learning.

To aid our neighbors and extend our message to our region's communities, Phipps presents outreach programs focused on human and environmental health, community improvement and food security.
