Courses & Workshops

Edible Landscaping offers unique gardening courses and gardening workshops that will enable you to learn all aspects of designing, maintaining and enjoying your own edible landscape. Courses can be tailor made for your organisation and be taught within your premises. The longer courses offer an in depth and thorough guide to permaculture gardening and my unique approach to teaching this subject. Some of these courses are university accredited. Alternatively, experience the great outdoors and go for the workshops based at my edible landscape and permaculture garden in south Wales. Please see student feedback on then courses at n the
