The class is taught by Eric Luke, owner of Half Moon Farm. Passionate about Earth in all aspects (life and death, plants too), Eric began his work in 2000. Previously a teacher in more formal settings (grades k-8 science and creative arts), he's energized to share all aspects of nature, humans and the regeneration necessary for a healthy "cycle". Day-to-day, you can find him operating Half Moon Farm in Lakewood, a community forward, flower and vegetable farm, focused on sustainability, education and inclusion, installing and designing plantscapes inside and out, and serving the community through his death work and recently founded non-profit, Re-Generation Earth.
