So you want to start your own food garden?

You are not alone.

More and more people around the world are using this learning program to turn small spaces in their gardens and on their farms into productive food and flavour sources.

Some are motivated by passion, others by principle and still others by pragmatism. We trust that whatever your reasons are, they are good ones too.

Joining this learning program your immediate rewards will be a feeling of achievement, organic herbs and vegetables that burst with flavour and overflow with health enhancing properties, shorter food miles and lower food bills.

Introducing Food Gardening For Beginners

To help beginners all over the world the SA Herb Academy developed a practical learning program for people who want to learn how to start and run their own productive and successful small-scale herb and vegetable gardens.

It is a complete easy-to-follow, practical, food gardening program that eliminates guesswork, shortens your learning curve, and ensures success anywhere – a city garden, a small holding, or a farm.

With this radical new program you learn how to apply a food gardening system that:

• utilizes a small growing space of between 2 and 40 square meters (about 100 to 400 square feet).
   
• produces a substantial quantity of organic herbs and vegetables in that small area.
   
• produces healthy, nutritious and flavoursome crops.
   
• yields two, three, or more crops from the same area, every growing season.
   
• start with easy-to-grow, high value crops and slowly progress to more difficult crops as your experience and knowledge grows.
   
• minimize your gardening time and effort.
   
• conserve water and minimize weeding time.
   
• gives you an exact inexpensive growing system that anyone, anywhere can follow.
   
• lowers your food bills.
   
• minimize your food miles.

You’ll Get Quick and Consistent Results

My guess is you don’t have time to read a book or attend a seminar. Even if you did, how would you put the information to work? Who will you call when something does not go as planned? Or when a plant turns up it toes and dies?

What you need is a veteran food gardener showing you how to quickly get started and then guiding you week after week so you don’t get stalled along the way.

That’s exactly what you'll get when you join Food Gardening for Beginners.

A Complete Proven Blueprint

Being a practical do-able learning program and not an info-dump the program features a complete, scaleable, blueprint for Mini Food Gardens measuring about 10 square meter (100 square feet) which you will actually install in your own garden and learn to care for using the pro-grower mindset.

Best of all...

You can be anywhere in the world. There are no classes to attend. You simply download your learning material from the password protected website. Print it out and then do the program in the comfort of your home.

And if you are the social type, there is plenty of voluntary interaction with fellow food gardeners and with your dedicated facilitator in the online course discussion forums.

When you complete this learning program, you'll have the productive herb and vegetable garden you've always dreamed of...

And if you are reading this, you most probably already have all the resources necessary to join this program.

How long will it take?

The program is divided into 7 easily digestible units which takes you through each of the 7 Essential Food Gardening activities.

Following the activities and one of the blueprints you will be harvesting your first crops within five to seven weeks from starting.

The first three units, planning, bed preparation and planting will take between 1 and 3 hours each. This will vary according to the size of your garden and to what extent you want to follow the Mini Garden Blueprint.

The last four units, watering, fertilizing, weeding and harvesting, are much more leisurely and will only take a few minutes a day or an hour on weekends. Again this might be more if your garden is a lot bigger than the Mini Garden.

To make sure that you've mastered everything and that you can replicate your success your membership is valid for 12 weeks.

The Program Format is Easy to Follow and Implement

This learning program was developed by a team of experienced horticulturists, herb and vegetable growers, and instructional designers using the latest distance learning practices.

Unlike other online programs available on this subject this is not just an e-book labeled as a course.

Food Gardening for Beginners is a fully fledged distance learning program complete with learning outcomes, learning activities, and assignments. These are all designed to help you acquire the necessary know-how and skills to become a successful food gardener.

Apart from your program manual there is an abundance of supporting study material to help develop you into a confident and successful food gardener.

Some of these materials will help you start your garden others, such as The South African Herb Growers Guide valued at R75 ($10), will help you maintain your garden, process your harvest and control pests and diseases.
