Extended Online Forest Gardening / food forests course
Do you want a more extensive online course with feedback and Q & A session with Martin Crawford?
This course is an extension of the online forest garden video course with extra content and live sessions. It is the nearest thing to actually coming to Dartington for a live course.
What does this course consist of?
- 16 video episodes with accompanying pdf notes
- 13 video lecture episodes with accompanying pdf notes
- 7 tours of different forest gardens, from newly planted to well established, along with two detailed pdf site booklets
- A design exercise with individual feedback
- A group zoom Q & A session (1 hour) with Martin Crawford (date available are chosen on purchase)
Can I learn at my own pace? Yes absolutely. You can work through the materials as slow or fast as you want. The only fixed date content are the two zoom Q & A sessions.
How long are the materials available? You have unlimited access to the materials for ever (or as long as the internet lasts, anyway)
