Review of SuiteU Course - Ecological Gardening: Organics and Beyond
Take a quick tour of SuiteU Environment School Course - Ecological Gardening: Organics and Beyond. One of the reasons I started writing for the Suite in the Environment Community was I did not just want to talk about the care and feeding/breeding of lizards (which would put this Topic in Pets), but of their environment and behaviour and its effect on us and our environment. Suite101 has an excellent Environment Community, and this also reaches into SuiteU. As I expand my own limited horizon, I have been sampling the courses in the School of Environment, and want to share with you my revelations.
