Event Description
Be prepared for a major shift in paradigms! This is a gardening course, and so much more. Students have called it "life changing" - because once you truly understand the connection between soil health, plant health, human health and environmental health you will look at the world with different eyes.
Pre-registration required. Please register through Burnaby Continuing Education at http://www.burnabyce.com/
This course is intense - challenging - inspiring!
- Learn to create fabulous food and ornamental gardens without pesticides and other harmful chemicals
- Become a SOUL Organic Master Gardener and share your knowledge with others through mentorship programs, workshops, talks and many other creative ways
- Gain essential skills to start or enhance your own business in the rapidly growing organic land care industry
- Prepare to write the SOUL Organic Certification exam for land care professionals
- Earn generous Continuing Education Credits to maintain your industry certifications (ISA, CNLA, BCSLA, SOUL)
Everyone is welcome. No previous experience required. Just come, learn and have fun. This is a practical experience-based course consisting of lectures and hands-on exercises. To receive a Certificate of Completion students must attend all sessions and satisfactorily complete all assignments and quizzes.

Wow, this is something that I hope will be repeated? And possibly delivered a little closer to home. I'm in Fairview. That's around VGH.
Thank you,
Karen
