Gardening is the art of planting and growing all sorts of greenery; plants, vegetables, small trees, herbs and flowers. You can design and plant an entire garden, but the plants on your balcony or in your kitchen are also part of gardening. There is a lot to learn about cultivating vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers.
During the Gardening course you’ll learn more about cultivating plants. The lessons will be given on the Campus Farm on our X terrain where we have reserved three beds especially for the course so that you can gain the perfect mix of theory and practical experience. The days are once again getting longer. In the coming course we are going to lay the foundation for the new gardening season. That means there is a lot of sowing to do, both outdoors and inside the greenhouse. Happy that spring is here!
This course will focus on cultivating edible plants and working organically, so without the use of fertilizers and pesticides. You will learn the theory and put this into practice and discuss the entire life-cycle of plants, from sowing to harvesting. Above all, gardening will help you to relax and discover many new flavors.
The course starts at Tuesday 1 May. Be quick to register, this course is in high demand.
