Healing Horticulture

Healing Horticulture is a short course using basic horticultural topics to reach people interested in learning about basic gardening or who just need a bit of support. This 6 x one evening a week course is designed to help people grow a hedge at the top of their cliff. During the course, participants will learn how to sow seeds, take cuttings, divide plants, understand the basics of both soil and plant science, make compost, sharpen tools (especially secateurs) and understand the weather. A plant propagator, seeds, watering system, bucket composter and consumables are supplied.

Each class we will cover the five following phases:
Learning - Doing - Sharing - Reflecting - Caring

A supplied course booklet is designed for people to reflect on their course journey.
Each evening will conclude with a light supper enabling the opportunity for people to share and care.
