Online Vegetable Gardening Course
Propagation Place’s online Vegetable Gardening for Beginners course acts as a companion and guide into your first forays into growing your own vegetables.
The course material is a mixture of videos, activities and written information.
Buy the complete course, or one module at a time, and work through the materials at your own pace.
Organic Gardening Course by Tim Foster
Each year, between January and June, we run our annual Organic and Allotment Gardening Course for those who want to learn how to grow their own fruit and vegetables.
This course, the best of its kind in Bristol, has been running for over 20 years and is designed with a great mixture of theory and practice.
Horticulture teacher and author Tim Foster shares his knowledge and skills, from pruning to sowing, pests to composting, rotations to companion planting and much more.
