Growing organically is important because the produce is healthier and contains more nutrients. 

It is better for the environment, insects and birds, plus there is no concern about the potential issues with GMO’s. 

It is also environmentally friendly and helps reduce your carbon footprint, not to mention saves money. 

Plus there is the holistic perspective of growing an organic garden because from the soil to the food we eat, it is all interconnected.

In this course you will learn:

  • How to build healthy organic soil
  • When to plant seeds or established plants as well as when to direct sow
  • How to simplify garden maintenance
  • Natural methods of pest control
