This beginner-friendly course is designed for individuals with no prior gardening experience, offering an introduction to creating a beautiful and functional cottage garden through the lens of permaculture design. Whether you have acres of land, a small corner lot, or even just a balcony or apartment space, this course will help you envision and plan a garden that suits your home and lifestyle.
In this course, you’ll learn:
1. What a cottage garden is and how it combines beauty, sustainability, and functionality.
2. The basics of permaculture principles and how to apply them to your own garden space.
3. Key concepts of home gardening, from choosing plants to designing a harmonious, low-maintenance garden.
4. How to plan your garden layout and select the best plants for your environment, soil, and climate.
5. Simple strategies for enhancing biodiversity, conserving resources, and creating an eco-friendly garden.
By the end of the course, you will have a personalized garden plan ready to implement once spring arrives—whether you’re working with a few square feet or several acres. As this course is taught in winter, you’ll have the time to prepare, gather materials, and set yourself up for success when the growing season begins.
The course will be taught live via Zoom, allowing for interactive learning, Q&A sessions, and personalized guidance as you draw out your own garden design.
