Who’s this course for?

It’s for home gardeners ready to step into a resilient future. Whether you’re rural or urban, this will unlock your garden’s ability to flourish, even when a lockdown prevents you from picking up new supplies. 

It’s also for commercial growers. They will quickly understand how simple it is to shift to a new paradigm that produces nutrient-dense food, living soil, and greater profits.

Additionally, the workshop is an excellent resource for homeschooling children to reconnect with their environment – a perfect activity for the school holidays!

CLIMATE: The workshops are based around giving people an understanding of the principals of science and the laws of nature which can be applied in varying ways to any climate. In our videos we are specifically showing people how to apply these rules in a temperate climate.

Here’s the lesson plan
