It is the best course I have ever taken and probably one of the best things I have done in my life so far, for a number of reasons, but mostly because the knowledge we gained in the class is invaluable and cannot be bought or acquired anywhere. I thank you also for bringing a lot of energy into the class and you made it fun to be there... I think everyone should learn about organic gardening and organic living. I want other people to learn the same things I did and then educate other people as well. I think with this "snowball" effect, we might eventually have a large percentage of the population engaging in organic gardening, which would be amazing.

All courses are offered on a part-time access basis to allow students to continue to work while studying. Students can combine on-line courses with classroom courses, regardless of where they are offered.

Courses can be taken individually and in no particular order, although we strongly suggest that everyone start with the Organic Master Gardener course.
