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!

    • The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.
    • She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck
    • Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!
    • It's time to ditch your team, otherwise you could be seen to supporting your owners dog whistle comments (aka racist). Fortunately you can support a local team, I understand that Palace have pretty right on fans, and you have Dulwich Hamlet and Peckham Town too. If you genuinely are from the North West then Everton fans are well rated for their politics (ignore the paving over paradise/loss of UNESCO world heritage status), and of course FC United of Manchester. Salford Town not a bad bet either. For those who are glory hunters dare I say over the river in the North London library aka Emirates (shame they don't rhyme) you have both the likelihood of a title this season and a very multicultural fan base. If you want to be really cool the Welsh speaking team Club Cymric, Forest Green Rovers, or AS Livorno in Italy, an anti-fascist team
