DESCRIPTION
Let us journey together to discover what is essential for plant growth. Perhaps you are starting your vegetable garden; or that plant is not doing as well as it should, and you have some questions. Whatever the reason, you’re interested in learning a bit more about your garden. But where do you begin?
The basics of gardening are the same as they have been for centuries... plant, water and wait. But there is so much more that we can do to make the best of the growing season.
In this course we will cover the following subjects: Planning your garden, understanding soils and amelioration, factors affecting plant growth, crop rotation and application of knowledge.
Our teacher Eloise’s garden journey started in 2021 when she had success in growing vegetables in her raised garden bed. After realising how much she didn’t know, she studied and received a Certificate in Horticulture (Level 3) in 2024. During this time, she converted her raised garden bed into a greenhouse, used the knowledge she acquired and has never looked back. Now she wants to help others who don’t know where to start and are looking for the basics to get growing!
