Gardening Courses - now taking bookings for March


Recommended Posts

Hello


We are about to launch a new School of Horticulture, offering local courses at all levels, and we're really keen to hear from any local gardeners or wannabe gardeners (beginners, amateur or professional) in our survey.


Survey link: https://londonschoolofhorticulture.co.uk/survey/


We live locally (SE24 and SE4) and we're starting in our home territory of SE London.


The aim is to teach classroom-based gardening and horticulture courses outside the traditional college environment, in friendly local settings, with duplicate/catch-up versions online. It's a new venture and we would really like to find out what local people who might be interested in gardening courses would be looking for and how we could most helpfully offer them what they need.


If you're interested in gardening and can help by filling in our questionnaire we'd be really pleased to hear from you and would reward you with 20% off your first short course any time in 2022, or a free seedling gift pack* if you can't make any of our courses.


We are still building our website which will include the full course schedule but you can watch our progress on the link below.

If you'd like a sneak preview ... so far we are planning our first workshops for March and they will be taking place in Herne Hill and Telegraph Hill, including the following:


1. Your Garden - understand and explore the potential of your own garden

2. Garden Design for Beginners - aiming to demystify the art of garden design and offer a few practical techniques

3. Introduction to Garden Plants - shrubs, trees, perennials, annuals, weeds, there are so many but you've got to start somewhere!

4. Seasonal Garden Care - Helping you work out what you should be doing in your garden in Spring!


Do forward this information to any gardening friends, local or further afield, and encourage them to do our survey. We're really interested to hear from anyone with an interest in gardening or horticulture, even if they're not local!


Happy to answer any questions here or there's a contact email on the homepage.


Thanks!


* Seedling packs are limited and will be delivered by us on bikes so first-come-first-served and local delivery only!

    • Used Mason & Green for airport transfers etc thanks to recommendations on here. Never been disappointed, always reliable. https://www.masonandgreen.co.uk/
    • I find the self diagnosis thing  a bit worrying. I once nearly died because a hospital  doctor misdiagnosed a ruptured ovarian cyst and peritonitis as food poisoning. It was lucky I hadn't initially diagnosed it as food poisoning myself and assumed  the sickness and pain would go away. I called my GP, who called an ambulance. I ended up having an emergency operation in a different hospital, the first hospital not having scanning facilities (this was in the olden days) 🙄
    • but GPs have your medical records. Perhaps  by "self diagnosis" you meant that you recognised the pain.
    • Some employers prefer older people as they are deemed to be more reliable, B and Q at one time had lots of 'older people'. I retired at 66  but on a casual visit to my old department, my former boss offered me a job saying I could name my hours. Would have loved to taken him up on it but the reason I took 'early retirement' was that my arthritis restricted my mobility re walking and standing for periods of time.  I would say it may not be ageism but not being deemed suitable for the position.  Someone I know was always looking for part time work but having spoken to her over a period of years, although she may have had the qualifications  needed for the work, her general attitude towards others and her very set views, I could understand why she found paid employment difficult to achieve. Can you do voluntary work? This may give you additional transferable skills.
