Gardening, Garden Design and Vegetable Growing courses
Being able to harvest vegetables from your own garden is a source of both satisfaction and pride, not to mention a great money-saving exercise.
You don't need a large space, any fancy equipment or encyclopedic knowledge of Latin plant names to grow beautiful flowers and produce fruit and vegetables from your own plot or garden. Indeed, a range of edibles can be grown in a simple window box, and even the smallest back yard can be turned into a tranquil plant-enhance paradise, with a little bit of passion and knowledge.
Learn about soil and growing conditions, sowing and caring for seeds and bulbs, propagating, making compost, planting window boxes, harvesting vegetables, caring for your lawn and planting and nurturing colourful window boxes and hanging baskets in the range of gardening, vegetable growing and horticulture courses offered at our schools in Cork, Kildare, Louth, Meath and Dublin.
