Event Description

Be prepared for a major shift in paradigms! This is a gardening course, and so much more. Students have called it "life changing" - because once you truly understand the connection between soil health, plant health, human health and environmental health you will look at the world with different eyes.

 

Pre-registration required. Please register through Burnaby Continuing Education at http://www.burnabyce.com/

This course is intense - challenging - inspiring!

  • Learn to create fabulous food and ornamental gardens without pesticides and other harmful chemicals
  • Become a SOUL Organic Master Gardener and share your knowledge with others through mentorship programs, workshops, talks and many other creative ways
  • Gain essential skills to start or enhance your own business in the rapidly growing organic land care industry
  • Prepare to write the SOUL Organic Certification exam for land care professionals
  • Earn generous Continuing Education Credits to maintain your industry certifications (ISA, CNLA, BCSLA, SOUL)

Everyone is welcome. No previous experience required. Just come, learn and have fun. This is a practical experience-based course consisting of lectures and hands-on exercises. To receive a Certificate of Completion students must attend all sessions and satisfactorily complete all assignments and quizzes.

Wow, this is something that I hope will be repeated?  And possibly delivered a little closer to home. I'm in Fairview. That's around VGH.

 

Thank you,

Karen

Catherine Dale is an amazing instructor. I really enjoyed last night's class. Met a couple permaculture folks there as well.
