Gardening

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.

Group course - All levels

As the months are going to get colder soon, it is the perfect time to learn about the cultivation of plants and how you can prepare for the new (garden) season. Learn all about growing plants, vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers, and what you can do at home to make your garden outside flourish. The lessons will be held 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.

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 8 September. This course is in high demand, be quick to register for one of the few spots for this course!
