2013 is Bigger and Better for Learning
We think that our 2013 course programme is our best ever! It certainly is our biggest ever with over 35 courses and workshops, developed in response to requests and feedback from all of you.
We’ve packed in a feast of exciting new workshops around the theme of ‘Sustainable Food’:
For all you budding gardeners out there check out a new course with Malcolm Berry who has been a professional gardener for 14 years, working at the National Botanic Gardens of Wales and teaching for 3 years. This series of 4 workshops will run on Wednesdays during April and May and is perfect if you are interested in growing your own food sustainably and deepen your understanding of natural processes.
