This course has given me a much deeper understanding of gardens and agroecosystems, how damaging conventional growing methods have been, and how a holistic organic approach offers many advantages, benefits and opportunities. Particularly, I'm grateful for the way you and the other instructors presented the practice of organic gardening within the context of a bigger picture, including ethical considerations and providing important reminders of the limits of the science.

F.A.Q.s

What prerequisites do I need to take this program?
This program is open to everyone with a strong interest in organic land care. Students without a high school education and a working proficiency in reading and writing English may require more time to complete the program.

I already have a good grasp of organic horticultural practices. Can I take only certain courses?
The information provided in all courses of this program is closely integrated, and is presented in a logical progression. Consequently the courses are not available individually.

Why is this program offered over the Internet?
There is an urgent need for formal education in organic practices around the world. On-line training makes this knowledge available to anyone, anywhere, anytime. It is the most economical and convenient way for students to obtain this information.

Currently we offer several classroom courses in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada. In the future we hope to enter into partnerships with more educational institutes and other organizations to deliver our programs in other parts of the continent.
