Our intention is to proceed with this course face to face with strict spacing and cleaning protocols in place. It will move online where needed due to government restrictions and recommendations.

Join experienced horticulturist and permaculturist, Justin Calverley and guest trainer, Donna Livermore as they introduce you to the world of urban farming. The Complete Urban Farmer course combines 14 sessions including an introduction to permaculture, chookcare, bee keeping, propagating and seed saving, community gardens — the list goes on!! This program will give you the skills and knowledge to apply to your own urban patch or help you decide if a career in horticulture/permaculture is for you. A copy of Justin’s Urban Farmer book is included in your course fee.
