Google Kicks off Black History Month Honoring Black Mississauga Ojibwe Sculptor Edmonia Lewis

Edmonia Lewis (1844-1907) was an American sculptor who worked for most of her career in Rome, Italy. She is the first woman of African-American and Native American heritage to achieve international fame and recognition as a sculptor in the fine arts world. Her work is known for incorporating themes relating to black people and indigenous peoples of the Americas into Neoclassical style sculpture. She emerged during the crisis-filled days of the Civil War, and by the end of the 19th century, she was the only black woman who had participated in and been recognized to any degree by the American artistic mainstream. - Wikipedia

…you can get horticulture qualifications online?

A longtime follower on here wrote me to talk about his educational progress. We’d had conversations around the time I went back to finish my first degree.

He informed me that he found a great job in in the UK horticulture sector by taking certifications from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) online.

For those of you in the United States, schools like Cornell offer distance learning courses in horticulture, permaculture, and botanical Illustration.

In Canada, the University of Guelph, probably the best school in the country for horticulture, offers certificates online.

If you’re a bit stuck about what you want to do next and want to transition to working in a trade you love, look for these kinds of programs.
