Accessible across devices and offering a library of 186 programs, the platform is a practical complement to formal study when paired with deliberate practice, feedback and community engagement.

Teaches Gardening is a non-degree program for anyone interested in gardening, offered by MasterClass in California, lasting one week. This program helps students grow their own food and keep plants alive.

The curriculum covers growing food, plant care, and finding beauty in gardening, with a focus on community activism. Students learn from Ron Finley, a self-proclaimed 'Gangster Gardener' who started a movement by growing a garden on a curbside dirt strip.

After completing this program, students can pursue careers as Gardeners, Horticultural Therapists, Landscape Designers, or Urban Farmers, working for organizations like community gardens, parks departments, or landscaping companies.
