Teacher:     Mihail Kossev

Kick-off your gardening season with a hands-on demonstration of a subsistence food garden for a cool, temperate climate.

This 6-days course develops the participants' abilities to assess and implement a permaculture garden project in cool, temperate climate regions, such as the Balkan region and northern Europe. Beginning with thoughtful observation and careful planning, into the building and enriching of soil, to the propagation and maintence of both annual and perennial food plants; this course provides the beginner gardener with the foundations of designing a garden for your kitchen, and intermediate and advanced gardeners will have a place to share ideas and learn something new. This course weaves theory, practice and discussion to suit a variety of learning styles. Participants get the opportunity to put some innovative gardening techniques into action, and will come away with fresh ideas for food gardens of their own.

For those joining from northern Europe we propose a complete package incl. airport transfer. We will meet and depart together from Eindhoven airport with wizzair to Sofia on April 3, 8h30 and arrive back in Eindhoven on April 10, 8h00.
