Course summary

Forest gardens are a way of growing food in a low-maintenance, productive polyculture which makes the most efficient use of space and natural processes. Learn all about forest gardens and get a qualification on the way! You can gain 20 credits and a level 1 or 2 Award in Horticulture. This course is for people who are passionate about plants, especially the edible ones. We cover many things including:

- designing and managing a forest garden.
Students will be asked to design a real or imaginary forest garden as part of the course. Starts Tuesday 4th June for 20 weeks, excluding the 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th Aug and 3rd September.
