This course is for people who have an interest in organic gardening, want to develop this interest, and want to see organic gardening more broadly supported.
|
| The course takes place over ten weeks, in 3 modules of 3 and 4 weeks. It consists of one day a week of course work, and one day a week of hands-on practical work. The course work is on every Tuesday. Prior learning and prior practical work is recognised and credited. |
| Provided we have sufficient enrolments, the course will continually roll over, and people are able to complete modules at intervals to suit their own availability. It introduces participants to the fundamental theory and hands on skills required to successfully grow a range of flowers, vegetables and fruit using organic methods, and it seeks to promote skills in developing this interest, and to develop broader social support for this activity. Classes are held each Tuesday 9.00 am to 3.00 pm. Supervised hands-on practical work takes place on Wednesday, or at other negotiated times. Classes will be conducted at Northey St City Farm, and at off-site locations. |  |
