Would you like to learn about organic principles and how to grow plants organically?

Would you like to do this at a time to suit yourself, in your own home?

If so, the interactive on-line ‘Principles of Organic Horticulture’ course from Greenmount Campus might be for you.

The course will run from the end of January until the end of May using the Blackboard virtual learning environment.

This is used to deliver learning materials and practical exercises, but it also allows students to interact with tutors and each other, despite being in different locations and working at different times of day.

The course is being delivered as an accredited unit of a Foundation Degree or Higher National Diploma/Certificate in Horticulture.
