Growing Nutrient Dense Food

Watch The Trailer

Who is this course for?

This workshop is to help people understand what nutrient dense food actually is and how to grow it and why we ned it for optimum health.

This course is specifically for people who are interested in health, gardening, the laws of nature and how they relate to human health and anyone who wants to understand food production on a deeper, regenerative level. 

This workshop is also a great introduction to the science of how plants grow. 

This course is for all levels of home gardeners, both country and urban. 

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.
