FAQ's
Is this suitable for my climate?
Yes - this course is about how to better manage your time and energy in the garden and can be applied to all climates. The last lesson, however, is winter-based, but you can still apply this information if you live in a warm climate.
Can I do this course away from the garden?
Absolutely! You can learn all the skills and methods away from the garden, but to make the most of what you learn it is important you have a growing space where you can implement the lessons.
Do I have to follow the lessons in order?
The lessons must be followed in order as they follow a natural progression and skipping parts will cause confusion. To avoid this happening, the course can only be completed in order.
What if I only have a balcony or patio garden?
This course is best-suited for back gardens, allotments and kitchen gardens. Many of the skills will be useful for a very small growing space, but not everything in the course can be applied to them.
I am a beginner gardener, is this for me?
Definitely! The skills in this course are especially important for a beginner as it helps you feel far less overwhelmed and will also help prevent you from running into big challenges later down the line. It isn't a 'beginner vegetable gardener course' but the knowledge will greatly help you.
